Called to the Table

Called to the table,

unworthy every one,

murderers and thieves,

liars and cheaters,

selfish and jealous,

worrisome and doubting

and fearful and unfaithful,

too.

Made worthy by His call, to be sent forth, now just, the young and old, men and women, weak and strong, rich and poor, and sick and well, too.

His call to me and you.*

"Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every living creature" (Mark 16:15). Jesus calls the unworthy and makes them worthy, he sends forth the weak and makes them strong. And the apostles obeyed: "They went forth and preached everywhere" (16:20).
