The Stealer and the Blesser - John 10: 10

There's a stealer always about
prowling around to see what to steal
he's the father of lies no doubt
seeking to delude you to appeal

His intent is to draw you in
with the aim that you, he would kill
be sure never to give him your time
looking over your shoulder never be still

This stealer is Satan himself
who seeks always to destroy
refuse his advances to follow him
turn to Jesus to find real joy

Now turn ourselves to the blesser
who has come to bring life anew
for this life is truly God-given
from which comes Jesus on cue

This life is without measure
for it's abundant and really free
the blesser comes to bless His own
because He died on Calvary's tree

(" The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.")
John 10: 10 (KJV)

Solid sound advice Gordon the devil prowls and leaves bad vibes but we can sense him around, and tell him to go back to hell where he belongs! HUGS AND BLESSINGS, JENNIFER.
