What Would Sinners Do?

Why would the crowd choose  

To set a murderer free 

And call for the death of Christ 

Who raised the dead  

And caused the blind to see? 

If I had been among them  

Would I have acted differently? 

Am I more comfortable  

With sin and stain  

Than with peace and purity? 

Would I disown God 

When push came to shove? 

Would I choose darkness over light 

And hatred over love? 

Would I stand and testify  

To defend my Defender 

When I had witnessed His mercy? 

Would I willingly surrender 

My reputation or my life 

To set a prisoner free? 

Would I cling to the chains 

Of the mob mentality? 

Would I follow Jesus to the cross 

Where He died for you and me? 

Would I let Him change the course 

Of my broken history? 

Would I admit my need 

Of His righteous sacrifice?  

Would I see my Saviour  

And choose freedom with Christ?
