Three Men Hanging on a Cross

Three men hanging on a cross
Their hands and feet nailed
Naked but for a loin cloth
Hung by the authorities

Three men hanging on a cross
Two are thieves, one is a King
Two are guilty, one is innocent
That one is scorned and rejected

Three men hanging on a cross
One with a crown of thorns
The blood dripping down his face
Mixing with the tears being shed

Three men hanging on a cross
One man asks for forgiveness
Another man has no free
And the third is crying out to his father

Three men hanging on a cross
One is a convicted thief
Another man is a forgiven sinner
And rhe third is saviour of many.
