Poetry - The Servant and The Thief - by Randy Nelsen

Lust is a Thief

Love is a Servant

The Thief comes 

 In the Darkness 

The Servant in Light 

The Thief Breaks 

through sealed doors 

In the Shadow of the Night  

The Servant Opens blinded eyes 

To bring hidden things to Light

The Thief comes with a dagger

The Servant with a Sword

The Thief comes within a cloak

The Servant in The written Word 

which he lived and Spoke

The Thief came to take and kill

But the Servant came to do His will

The Thief came to Tell a Lie 

But the Servant came 

That Love should Die

And for every Man

To Make a Way

With His Life 

The Price was Paid In Blood

And on that day He was lifted High

His hands Transfixed for you for I 

And When he cried out with his Last Breath

The Thief was Slain With Jesus Death
