I am a thief
I am a muderer, 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 comming soon
It's been so long
Oh, such a long time since I've lived with peace and rest
And now I am here
At my destination, I guess things work for the best
And I know that my time is comming soon
Who is this man?
This man beside me
That they call the "King of the Jews"
They don't believe he's the messiah
But somehow I know it's true
They laugh at him in mockery
And beat him till he bleeds
They nail him to the rugged cross and raise him,
Yeah they raise him up next to me
My time has come
I'm slowly fading
I deserve what I've recieved
Jesus when you are in your kingdom,
Could you please remember me
He looks at me still holding on and tears fall from his eyes
He says to me "You tell the truth, today you will live with me in paradise"
And I know that my time is comming soon
And I know that my time is comming soon
And I know paradise is comming soon
