The Thief Lyrics

Place your heart on the altar

I call on you, my father

I shall not want

I didn't bring you here for sacrifice

No need to say what's written in your eyes

Even in darkness I provide

What God esteems has nothing to do with outward appearance

Your beauty radiates from within

It can't be measured by human ideals

But sometimes it's so hard to accept truth when we feel unworthy

Don't let vanity get a hold of me

Jesus, just hold me please

I'm like the thief on the cross, nothing to offer your ministry

Not a prayer to proceed my lips

And yet, your kindness is something I've never known

Until this moment

For you are a king

And I am a thief

In our agony

Your joy breaks through

Because even through the blood and the swelling and the pain

I've never seen greater love

All I ask is that

When you finally rest in your paradise

You may remember me

Let my final breath

Be my offering to your blood-stained crown

I cannot give you a lifetime of ministry

But I give you a breath of repentance

I know it's not much

But I give all I am to you

King Jesus

Place your heart on the altar

I call on you, my Father
