How many wrongs make up a right
Or cancel a wrongful deed?
How many acts of violence can
Make a sure peace succeed?
Can a good mathematician answer
How you add for a positive score
When the columns you add are all minuses?
Can you strive and complete that chore?
Only one time in all of history...
Once, only once, it was done,
When the minus marks of all mankind
Fell on a Willing One...
A Perfect Volunteer, Who took
All the minuses of the ages
Upon His shoulders to Calvary's cross
And added names to the 'Book of Life' Pages!
