The big church sale began today
So I had to bake
Cookies, candy and some bread
Things for me to take.
As I busied with my chores
I heard a little knock
With flour head to toe I found
Jenny Jones from down the block.
"My Momma has no food today
And I would like a bite
Of a cookie or a glass of milk
A piece of bread would be alright.
I'm sorry but I haven't time
To fool with you today
The big church sale will soon begin
So please - now go away.
Then I hurried bout my work
I took it down to sell
But the long hot day and all the work
Did not turn out so well.
So that night, I asked Him
Lord why weren't you there?
We need so many things for church
And we know that you care.
And so the Lord, He said to me
I was with you today
I told you that a glass of milk
Or piece of bread would be okay.
I said "Oh Lord, I'm sorry.
I never knew that it was you."
You know that I am willing
To do all you ask me to."
Then tenderly, He told me
My precious child, you see
When you it not to the least of These
You did it not, to me.
