THIEF! <\/p>\n

Jesus is the one true Door,
\nTo a lovely Heavenly Place,
\nHe gave a huge invitation,
\nTo the entire human race.<\/p>\n

But some folks reject Him,
\nThey\u2019re like some sly thief,
\nThey prefer a sneaky way,
\nIt causes our Father grief.<\/p>\n

There are so many paths,
\nSo foolishly they all claim,
\nWhen cast into darkness,
\nOnly they will be to blame.<\/p>\n

So don’t dare be like them,
\nDon’t resort to petty theft,
\nTrust only in Jesus Christ,
\nOr you end up on the left.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
