At the Table was born out of one of the most painful and transformative seasons of my life. After being outed as gay before I was ready, I lost nearly everything—my spouse, my job as a pastor, my home, and my community. It was a time of deep grief and disorientation, when I wasn’t sure where I belonged or who I was becoming.

In that wilderness, I began to rediscover grace—slowly, quietly, and in unexpected places. Out of that healing came this song. I drew from the beautiful lyrics of my brother, Rev. Dr. David Bjorlin, and added my own chorus and tune, creating something that holds both our voices—hope woven through lament, welcome born out of loss.

In a world where faith and politics are too often used to exclude, At the Table carries a message of radical welcome for all who have been pushed to the margins—especially within the LGBTQ community. It’s a reminder that God’s love is unconditional, unshaken by human prejudice.

I dedicate this song to everyone who has ever been denied a place at the table. You are loved. You belong. And nothing can change that.

At The Table - Lyrics

VERSE 1: At the table, all are equal, all approach the feast as guest. None sit in the seat of honor: at the table, none are best.

At the table, none go hungry, none must steal or beg for bread; all receive from God’s abundance: at the table, all are fed.

CHORUS: At the table, none go hungry, at the table all are fed. At the table, all are cherished, at the table all are sent.

VERSE 2: At the table, all are cherished, all are sought at any cost, none abandoned or forsaken, at the table, none are lost.

At the table, none are finished, none sit selfishly content; all are called to love in service: from the table, all are sent.
