Lyrics
Verse 1
This is the kind of blood that
Flows down to save the world
And gives up its rights
To pour out its life
Verse 2
This is His body broken
His final words now spoken
In bread and in wine
This is the body of Christ
Chorus
Lord come make us one
Here at this table beautiful Savior
Let Your kingdom come
Now and forever bind us together
Here at Your table
Verse 3
Come all you heavy-laden
This is your invitation
To lay it all down
Right here and now
Verse 4
The sacrifice of Jesus
Has set this table for us
Daughters and sons
Come take the bread and the cup
Chorus (Repeat x2)
Bridge 1
At the table of the Lord
There is healing
At the table of the Lord
There is peace
Bridge 2
All who need to find rest
And find freedom
Take now and eat
Take now and drink
Come and receive
Chorus (Repeat x2)

Meaning & Inspiration
"Here at This Table" opens by describing blood that flows specifically to save the world, naming it as giving up its own rights in order to be poured out. That deliberate, sacrificial framing grounds the song's communion imagery in willing self-giving rather than imposed suffering.
Its verses move through the Last Supper's own language, body broken, final words spoken, bread and wine, before widening the invitation to all who are heavy-laden and in need of rest. Naming daughters and sons invited to the same table ties that ancient meal directly to present, shared family identity rather than only historical remembrance.
Rooted in contemporary worship's communion liturgy tradition, the song functions as an extended invitation to the Lord's table, its bridges naming healing, peace, rest, and freedom as available there, closing the song on a repeated request for unity, bound together now and forever at that same shared table.
