Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

The Man In the Middle

THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE

One day many years ago 
Three men were crucified
Two of them were thieves
Who cheated, stole, and lied

The third man was innocent 
But for His love of man He died
His mother was watching, helplessly 
John, a faithful disciple was by her side

One thief railed on the Man in the middle
The other thief did not
Instead, he reminded the reviling thief
They both deserved what they got

Remember me, Lord, when you enter Your Kingdom
The Man in the middle was nice
He compassionately said to the thief
Today you will be with Me in Paradise

The Man in the middle breathed His last
They buried Him in a borrowed grave
Three days later, He arose to life
To receive whom He came to save

So if you trust the Man in the middle
The Man they call Jesus Christ
You, like the thief on the right
Will spend eternity in Paradise
