Three Crosses by Adam's Road

Three Crosses
by Adam's Road

The evil man, hanging on that tree
Mocking Christ on Calvary (Luke 23:39)
The evil man, what good is he?
May I hate him? Show him no mercy?

Speak evil of no one and show love towards all
For we once did not know Christ, disobeyed His law (Rom. 11:32; Titus 3:1-3)

The evil man, must I pray for him at supper? (Matt. 5:4)
Or treat him like he is a brother? (Matt. 5:43-47)
The evil man does he have some hope?
Is he like Darth Vader can he cope with change?

‘Cause the evil man he once was me (Rom. 11:23; Titus 3:1-3)
Once was everybody

Beside the One who died on the tree was a
Sinner who said “Lord, save me!”
He feared God, confessed his sin (Luke 23:40-41)
He called on Jesus to remember him (Luke 23:42; Rom. 10:13; 1 Cor. 1:2)

This beggar, he now is saved (Matt. 18:21-35; Luke 23:43)
Believing in Christ he’ll never be the same (2 Cor. 5:17)
‘Cause that day, salvation came! (John 3:16, 6:47)
Once we have faith that Jesus saves
Then we confess with our mouths we believe in His name (Rom. 10:9)

The evil man he fades away (2 Cor. 5:17)
We become the Potter’s clay (Isaiah 64:8; Jer. 18:6)
Born again renewed this day (John 3:3; Rom. 6:4)
Filled with the Holy Spirit we say

“Jesus offered Himself as the sacrifice for sins once and for all (Heb. 10:10)
So praise goes to Him!” (Rom. 15:11)

Bearing the cross and taking the blame (2 Cor. 5:21; Heb. 12:2)
Saving the lost and suffering pain (Isaiah 53:5-6; Luke 14:27; John 9:17)
And I had a dream of a double cross (Gal. 2:20)
One place for Jesus and one for all who

Bear their own cross and despise its shame (Heb. 12:2)
Seek out the lost, gladly suffer pain (Luke 14:27, 15:1-7; 2 Cor. 11:19; Heb. 12:2)
For we are heirs with Christ the Lord
If we suffer with the King as His disciples (Rom. 8:17; 2 Cor. 1:5-7)

We’ll be glorified with Christ (Rom. 8:17)
Abba, Father! We are children of God (Rom. 8:15-16)
And we will be conformed to the image of Your Son
To the image of Christ (Rom. 8:29-30)
