she came to our house, but she didn’t know the rules.
you’re supposed to be nice to everyone. you’re supposed to respect us… you’re supposed to wait until everyone is ready before eating… you’re supposed to look good… you’re supposed to be polite… you’re supposed to be proper…
but she didn’t know the rules… she came in, looking for food. she was smelly, dirty… she was poor and didn’t look nice… she was rude… she didn’t care what others thought… she was noisy…
because she didn’t know the rules… no one talked with her or got to know her… we didn’t know how to treat her… we ignored her, pretended she wasn’t there… because she didn’t know the rules…
we asked her to leave because she didn’t know the rules….
but she was His guest and the Lord invited her back…
because we didn’t know the rules…
