"…..and then, somewhere in Eternity, there was a knock on the door."

 

Verse 1:

Hello come on in, good to see you all again

I admit that you caught me by surprise

I’ve been workin’ to get ready; I kind of lost track of the time

I’ve never owned a watch I must apologize.

 

Chorus:

Take your places at the table

I’ve got a banquet planned for you

Get to know each other, as you pass the food around

Though I’m willing and I’m able

And I’ve still got lots of room

I didn’t expect to see you here so soon

 

Verse 2:

I hope you feel, right at home just relax you’re not alone

As soon as everyone is here we can begin

I know you’re tired; you’ve traveled far, you rode here on a shooting star

You might have worried that I wouldn’t let you in

 

Chorus:

Take your places at the table

I’ve got a banquet planned for you

Get to know each other, as you pass the food around

Though I’m willing and I’m able

And I’ve still got lots of room

I didn’t expect to see you here so soon

 

 

Bridge:

Tell me all about your lives, your husbands and your wives

All about the special people you hold dear

I’ll send a message to your loved ones that you won’t be coming home

With an invitation to come and join you here,

When the time is right

 

 

 

 

 

Repeat Verse 1:

Hello come on in, good to see you all again

I admit that you caught me by surprise

I’ve been workin’ to get ready; I kind of lost track of the time

I’ve never owned a watch I must apologize.

Chorus:

Take your places at the table

I’ve got a banquet planned for you

Get to know each other, as you pass the food around

Though I’m willing and I’m able

And I’ve still got lots of room

I didn’t expect to see you here so soon

Let me take you to my table

I’ve still got lots of room

I didn’t expect to see you here …. so ….. soon
