Carried To The Table

So I was in the Vineyard the other day looking for a Decemberadio CD and just kind of browsing for new music when I found this CD for $5. I had sort of remembered in the back of my mind someone talking about this band called Leeland and that they had said they were incredible, so I thought to myself, What the heck. It's just $5. It shouldn't matter that I've never even heard a thing this band has put out there. I'll give it a shot.

I love it when you go into something or get something and have zero expectations for it and then it ROCKS YOUR FACE OFF. I'm not kidding you. I think I'm ready to say that minus any Jennifer Knapp purchase I've made in the past five to ten years that this could quite possibly be the best CD I've ever bought. And maybe it's because of the no expectations thing, but maybe it's just good music that hits me exactly where I'm at. Who knows?

All this post is really about is to tell you to run out and get this CD. I don't care if you have to scrounge up the loose change from your couch and your car. Get this CD. And, secondly, I'm here to share with you the lyrics to one of their songs that speaks to me the most called Carried To The Table. Enjoy.

Carried To The Table -- Leeland

Wounded and forsaken
I was shattered by the fall
Broken and forgotten
Feeling lost and all alone
Summoned by the King
Into the Master's courts
Lifted by the Savior
And cradled in His arms

I was carried to the table
Seated where I don't belong
Carried to the table
Swept away by His love
And I don't see my brokenness anymore
When I'm seated at the table of the Lord
I'm carried to the table
The table of the Lord

Fighting thoughts of fear
And wondering why He called my name
Am I good enough to share this cup
This world has left me lame
Even in my weakness
The Savior called my name
In His Holy presence
I'm healed and unashamed

I was carried to the table
Seated where I don't belong
Carried to the table
Swept away by His love
And I don't see my brokenness anymore
When I'm seated at the table of the Lord
I'm carried to the table
The table of the Lord

You carried me, my God
You carried me
