Three crosses silhouetted against the sky;
A thief dying on one – he didn’t get by.
A thief is also dying on the third frame,
His sin was similar, his punishment the same.
But Who dies on that middle cross?
What has He done – that life should be lost?
Is He a big sinner? Say, what is His crime?
He had no sin, friend – until he took yours and mine.
His death is a redemptive death;
He replaced, ah replaces, mortal man.
The Son of God died for sinners –
Have you ever heard such a plan? -eab, 4/7/07
