Thief

I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walkin' up this lonely hill
What have I done, no, I don't remember
No one knows just how I feel
And I know that my time is comin' 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
And guess things work for the best
And I know that my time is comin' soon

Who is this Man, this Man beside me, yeah
That they call the King of the Jews
Well, 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
And they nail Him to the rugged Cross
And they raise Him, yeah
They raise Him up next to me, yeah

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

And He looks at me, still holdin' on
The tears fall from His eyes
And He says, "I tell the truth
Today, yeah, and you will live with Me in paradise"

Oh yes, and I know that my time
Yes, my time is coming soon
Oh yes, and I know that my time
Yes, my time is coming soon, oh yeah

And I know that paradise, paradise is coming soon
