I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? I don't remember
No one knows just how I feel
And I know that my time is coming soon
It's been so long, Oh such a long time
Since I've lived with peace and rest
Now I am here, my destination
I guess things work for the best
And I know that my time is coming soon
Who is this man, this man beside me?
They call the King of the Jews
They don't believe that He's the Messiah
But, somehow I know it's true
And they laugh at Him in mockery
And beat Him till he bleeds
They nail Him to the rugged cross
And raise Him, they raise Him up next to me
My time has come, I'm slowly fading
I deserve what I receive
Jesus, when You are in Your kingdom
Could You please remember me?
Well He looks at me still holding on
The tears fall from His eyes
He says, “I tell the truth
Today, you will live with Me in paradise”
And I know that my time is coming soon
And I know paradise is coming soon
