Unexpected Answer

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?"
