How sweet are Your words to my taste! Yes, sweeter than honey to my mouth. Psalm 119:103
Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! The joys of those who take refuge in Him! Psalm 34:8

I love the book of Ecclesiastes. Solomon conducted an experiment to “search out by wisdom all that is done under the sun” (Ecc 1:13). It’s one man’s exploration into all the pleasures this world has to offer. This experiment wasn’t low budget either. Solomon was a rich playboy. The world was his oyster.

When he built, he built cities. When he gardened, he planted forests. When he partied, he threw raves every night for ten thousand diehards. He employed the world’s finest musicians to be his jesters. His mouth only tasted the best cuisine. He hand selected the most beautiful woman from every province to be his own. He is to this day the richest man to ever live. No one has come close to his abundance of material goods or experienced more worldly pleasures than our boy Solomon. And his constant refrain? “Vanity of vanities.”

Solomon discovered a meaningless existence exploring God’s creation. These things are not evil. God called His creation good! It’s when we attempt to find our satisfaction from these things we are left disappointed.

Don’t settle for scraps. Jesus has set the table for you to come and feast on all the goodness of God! Have you tasted the goods of the world and seen how empty they are? Come and have a real meal! There are pleasures at God’s right hand that extend for all eternity (Psalm 16:11). God is ringing the dinner bell. You were created to feast on the delicacies of God Himself! He is pure pleasure and satisfaction! Come! Taste and see!

Verse 1

Sweeter than the honeycomb
Richer than the wine
Better than the finest things
We can taste this life

Pre-Chorus

You are my desire's King
Love is all I'll ever need
You are my delicacy
C'mon, c'mon to the dinner table
C'mon, c'mon to the dinner table

Chorus

You're healing my heart when I'm drinking in You
Like jumping in the water in the summer of June
Soothing my soul when I'm feeding on You
Like eating Mama's cooking in the afternoon
Now is the time feast
Now is the time feast
Taste and see
Taste and see
The Lord is good, good, good to me

Verse 2

Sweeter than the honeycomb
Richer than the wine
Survey all the earthly goods
And they'll fail you every time

Bridge

You bring satisfaction
You make man's heart happy
Wellspring of life
I'm here to dine
