When we feast on the abundance of your house,
we eat and are filled, with baskets of leftovers.
When we drink from the river of your delights,
we remember we are blessed in Christ Jesus.
When we receive the promise of the Spirit,
we want to share your abundant feast.
Then we think of all the oppressions
that are practiced under the sun.
Look at the tears of the oppressed, O God;
what can we do to free them from oppression?
we eat and are filled, with baskets of leftovers.
When we drink from the river of your delights,
we remember we are blessed in Christ Jesus.
When we receive the promise of the Spirit,
we want to share your abundant feast.
Then we think of all the oppressions
that are practiced under the sun.
Look at the tears of the oppressed, O God;
what can we do to free them from oppression?
