"Thief" Lyrics

I am a thief
I am a murderer
Walking 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 coming soon

It's been so long.
Oh such a long time.
Since I've lived with peace and rest

Now I am here.
At 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
That 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, yeah 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?

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
That my time is coming soon

And I know
Paradise. . . Paradise is coming soon.
