Hanging on our Cross

As urgent as our dying day
each day of our life
what will we choose
damnation or life

Will we mock God
will we spit on the Christ
jeering him as we are dying
or go to paradise

God’s judgment completed
justice meted out
hanging on our cross
that hill, Calvary

On our cross next to Christ
like those two thieves
guilty of our sin
failing to believe

None of us deserving
anything from Christ
yet one to damnation
another to paradise

Will we accept Christ’s offer
turning from our sin
will we remain with the other
or will we live in Him
