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 of such a plan?
