Modern man does not understand the cross.

By Adam C. Parker

He does not understand the cross,

Because he does not understand justice.

He does not understand justice,

Because he does not understand holiness.

He does not understand holiness,

Because he does not know God.

He does not know God,

Because he hates God.

And he hates God,

Because he does not understand mercy.

He does not understand mercy,

Because he does not understand the cross.

He does not understand the cross,

Because he does not understand justice.

Christians do not understand the cross,

Because they do not understand justice.
