The time has come so lend your ear
A parable for you to hear
Move yourselves come over here
My friends
A man was wanting to prepare
A party for his friends to share
Sent a servant a note to bear
To his friends

Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you

The first was busy he said no
He had just bought a new meadow
A poor excuse he was shallow
Oh dear
The second had just bought some land
The third just donned a wedding band
Dismissed the party out of hand
Oh dear

We won't entertain you
We won't entertain you

The servant brought back the bad news
Of how the friends chose to refuse
The master's offer to amuse
Them there
The master angry forged a plan
Said servant fetch me every man
From the streets with problems if you can
To share

They may be blind or may be crippled or lame
They may be poor invite them just the same
All my friends' places these men can claim
And my friends have only got themselves to blame

Let me entertain them
Let me entertain them

My house will be filled with those who want to belong
But those who turned their backs have missed the dinner gong
If you're invited to freely come along
Will you be part of God's happy throng

And Let Him entertain you
Let Him entertain you
