Poem
As I sit down at the Banquet feast, With Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, Oh, what a day it is— In the Kingdom of Heaven sacred. But Jesus is the one— I want to see face to face. For Jesus is the reason, I’ve the privilege, this table to grace. This Banquet table is the longest— My eyes have ever seen. There’s many famous people here; It seems just like a dream. Moses sits there patiently— Christ’s strong but humble servant; Waiting for the prayer of grace, Before eating this food, so magnificant. Isaiah, Ezekiel and Jeremiah— Are seen seated together. These great prophets of old Foretold God’s plans for the future. King Solomon and King David Sit regally in the middle. David softly plays his harp; More beautiful than any fiddle. The atmosphere’s electric; Such joy is present on every face. Excitement for this occasion Is felt throughout the entire place. Jesus, our Host, now stands to speak— To His redeemed made righteous. Such great love and mercy, Made all His guests spiritually prosperous. He didn’t say, “Thank you all for being here”; For that would have been rather trite. Instead He said, “Thank you for your choice To follow My Father’s ways, so right. Thank you all for witnessing To your fellow man; Showing My Father’s love, So all my children could understand.” The Banquet experience Is like nothing ever before. To see Jesus face to face— I can only love Him more. Should I have missed this opportunity, I would have experienced such deep regret; To be shut out and placed in darkness— Away from this momentous Banquet! Heaven is so awesome— My words cannot describe. For these words have never been written By any reporter or scribe. Paradise and the Tree of Life— In the past were but a dream; Now so very, very real— For all of God’s redeemed. There’s not a single sacrifice That I would not have made; To be at this special Banquet Feast, With a perfect character remade. Life on earth was difficult, But it’s memory’s almost gone. Condemned as a heretic; I simply sang Christ’s victory song! Featured in my book No. 2, "Poetry To Touch the Heart & Soul" Copyright © 2009-2011 Maureen LeFanue www.godsgreetings.org
