Behold, In The Electric Chair


Behold in the electric chair
My sentence on His record
Ashamed, I'm flooded with relief
I'm free because He suffered

How can I walk away from that?
My legs give out; My knee bends
My Friend, my Savior, Jesus Christ
Has branded me "forgiven"
.........
Today's realty of the cross is the electric chair. Christ was not crucified in any sort of honorable fashion. He was killed, unjustly and unfairly, as a criminal.
...........
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His death has paid my ransom
