When we gather around the communion table, we experience not just the body of Christ “on the table” but also the “body of Christ” represented by all of us who “gather around the table.” All of us broken, needy, wanderers, seekers, believers, doubters … all around the table together. All loved by God and welcomed to the table just as we are. This is a song for us to sing around the table and every time we need to remember God’s deep, inclusive love.

Every great religious tradition has ideas about how the Holy is present. Christian teaching sometimes lists the orthodox ways God is revealed and how prayer works. These are good things. However, if we align too tightly to particulars, we may lose the sense of God's mystery which may be essential to a thriving faith. This song is an effort to explore with young people around the campfire some of the ways we might experience God.
