Tenth Avenue North's Heartfelt Acoustic Rendition of 'Invited'

Tenth Avenue North's Heartfelt Acoustic Rendition of 'Invited' from CCM Magazine on GodTube.

‘Oh Lord, oh Lord, You know I want a heart like Yours

When I was down and bound, You met me on the floor

So come open up my hands, open up my doors

Oh Lord, oh Lord, You know I want a heart like Yours’

What a beautiful song with such an important message. The lyrics remind us that all are invited to God’s table and that there is enough space for all sons and daughters to sit at the feet of our Heavenly Father.

Frontman Mike Donehey of Tenth Avenue North shared the heart behind the band’s new song. “Invited is a song about the welcoming heart of God,” Mike Donehey said. “When I read scripture, it leaves me with the impression that God has a heart of invitation. Jesus ate with tax collectors, prostitutes, and the Pharisees. It’s like He was saying, ‘whether you’re feeling screwed up or quite religious, everyone is My kind of people.’”

Mike then went on to talk about a full circle moment that included the new members of Tenth Avenue North, Thomas Ewing, and Monty Rivera. “Our former guitarist Jeff Owen is who had the idea for the song. Jeff, the new members Thomas Ewing and Monty Rivera, and me then wrote the song together. To me, it’s a beautiful torch pass. We started our band journey with the song ‘Love is Here,’ and we’re beginning the next iteration, reminding people what we are all about. We’re still declaring the same thing. The message is simple. Come. Just come.”

We hope you enjoyed listening to this acoustic rendition of Tenth Avenue North’s song ‘Invited’ today!
