All three hung together upon old wooden trees Roughly fashioned to hold hands and knees That stuck out away from nails in their feet Altogether was presented a scene far from neat
Two men were thieves caught in the act The third was blooded both front and back But the only thing that He ever stole Were the hearts of the people who played out this role
For these three men represent condition of all But most of us think we are just having a ball. One man can forgive and willingly will One man asks and his crime turns to nil
One man is a scoffer and loves evil still And rejects the love that would save him from hell The first man is Jesus who saves when we call The second the sinners who repent one and all
The third man turns his back on God’s Son And forever will feel the heat of the sun
