The thief and the Saviour

For you have come 
That I may have Life
Abundantly, fully, joyously
Like a ripe cluster of fruit

The thief may fool me
Into thinking that
If my dreams are threatened
That my joy is gone

The thief may deceive me
Into believing that
If my plans do not succeed
Then you are no longer with me

The thief may come
To steal
To kill
To destroy
My joy
My life

But You have come
So I may cast away
These chains
Trying so desperately
To hold me down
Whom the Son has set free
Is Free Indeed.”

But You have come
So I may rejoice
In the midst of suffering
In the midst of society’s ridicule
“Where is your God now?”
They chant

But You have come
So I may let go
Of all that is unnecessary
Job, degree, money, success, fame

But You have come
To refine me
So I may boldly approach
Your throne of grace

As You have come
For me
I too shall go
Wherever
For You
Send me Oh God
Use me Oh God
Wherever
