Today's Messiah

If the one who promised
That he would rescue us
Had come today,
Would we have chosen
A lethal injection
For lack of wood and nails?
Would a world full of desperate people
Strap their only hope to an electric chair
Instead of nailing him to a cross?

Forgive mankind
Not only the ones who harmed You
But those who continue to.
We still haven't learned
To simply receive and be grateful.
A hero who is rejected by
But still saves the endangered
Is greatly to be praised.
