Supper Time video with lyrics and chords
F Bb F
When I was just a boy in days of childhood,
C F Bb F C
I used to play till evening shadows come.
F Bb F
Then winding down an old familiar pathway,
C F Bb F
I heard my mother call at set of sun:
Bb F
Come home, come home, It’s supper time,
C F Bb F
The shadows lengthen fast.
Bb F
Come home, come home, It’s supper time,
C F Bb F C
We’re going home at last.
F Bb F
One day beside her bedside I was kneeling,
C F Bb F C
And angel wings were winnowing the air.
F Bb F
She heard the call for supper time in heaven,
C F Bb F
And now I know she’s waiting for me there.
F Bb F
In visions now I see her standing yonder,
C F Bb F C
And her familiar voice I hear once more.
F Bb F
The banquet table’s ready up in heaven,
C F Bb F
It’s supper time upon the golden shore.
About This Song
“Supper Time” is a tender, nostalgic gospel song that reflects on the believer’s longing for Heaven and the eternal reunion that awaits with loved ones who have gone on before. Written by Ira Stanphill, the song compares the joy of family mealtime to the spiritual joy of sitting at the Lord’s table in eternity. Inspired by Revelation 19:9 and the idea of the Marriage Supper of the Lamb, “Supper Time” brings comfort and hope, especially during times of reflection or memorial. At Walk of Grace Chapel, it’s a beloved part of services that gently reminds us of the eternal promises we have in Christ.
