Thief

I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? No, I don't remember
And 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
And 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 that 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, they raise Him up next to me

My time has come, I'm slowly fading
But I deserve what I receive
Jesus when You are in Your kingdom
Could You please, please remember me?

And He looks at me still holding on
And the tears fall from His eyes
And he says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with Me in paradise

And I know that my time, my time is coming soon
And I know that my time, my time is coming soon
And I know paradise, paradise is coming soon
