Unexpected Answer
by Grace Dorothy Lehman
The broken bread, the cup of wine,
We take with trembling hand,
As we consider once again
Salvation's wondrous plan.
The bishop lingers yet a bit,
And says in kindly tone,
"Has anyone been overlooked?
If so, please make it known."
"Yes, we've been missed!" say voices
In a hundred different tongues;
We never knew the Savior died;
We never knew He's come.
You've missed us many, many times;
You've missed us centuries long.
Will you not share with us the Bread,
The Living Bread of God?"
