Poem
But understand this: If the owner of the house had known at what time of night the thief was coming, he would have kept watch and would not have let his house be broken into. Matthew 24:43 NIV Song by Five Blind Boys of Alabama The owner of the house Has been blindly robbed The thief sneaking in the night Hiding out in the bushes To come in when least expected Oh how he's out to steal All the joy and peace within Keeping one focused on worldly things Out to destroy all the new fixtures One had received from another with love Destructive he is causing confusion Of where all the items have been rearranged So one day the owner of the house Meets one walking by That tells them a way To clean out the inside of the house Throw out all the chaos the thief created Start off with new freshly painted walls Follow this guide to clean up this house The theif hates to see pictures within That show so much joy and peace And a house which has been wiped clean And mostly one which has been prepared Of all his foolish tricks to enter The theif can not enter when the House is full of light to shine upon His evil sneaky ways which Leave him on the outside The motion detector lights pick him up On his every move that he must keep moving Leaves him in fear that another might Learn how to keep him from entering The owner is prepared for this thief Knowing that each day the thief Comes by but sees the light is on So he must resist this spirit which Reveals the darkness with the shining light For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. 2 Corinthians 4:6 NIV
