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 Curtis Moorman 15 May 2018

Your kindness is only surpassed by your love for the Lord. Thank you for your invaluable support. I wrote this one on the spur of the moment --- no contest to enter --- just a rush of words that suddenly came to mind. Thanks again, and give my fondest regards to Vera.
