That photo inspired a song by one of my all time favorite Christian artists, Steve Taylor.
To Forgive
Steve Taylor
I saw a man
he was holding the hand
that had fired a gun at his heart
oh, will we live
to forgive?
I saw the eyes
and the look of surprise
as he left an indelible mark
oh, will we live?
to forgive?
Come...find release
go...make your peace
Follow his lead
let the madness recede
when we shatter the cycle of pain
oh, we will live
to forgive
Come...find release
go...make your peace
I saw a man
with a hole in His hand
who could offer the miracle cure
oh, He said live
I forgive
(repeat)
Oh, He said live
to forgive
oh, He said live
to forgive
