We are the Dogs – v2

We are the dogs, the unclean,

the animals, the outsiders

under the table

Not the children, the chosen ones

for whom He came.

We are the dogs,

unworthy of a seat at the table

crumbs for us, under the table

scraps to eat, left over

But oh there is enough

even in the crumbs

A bountiful harvest

of living grace in the crumbs

endless sustenance

manna from heaven

enough for our souls

even in the crumbs
