I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? Oh, 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

Well, who is this man? This man beside me
They call the King of the Jews
No, they don't believe that He's the Messiah
Somehow I know that it's true

They laugh at Him in mockery
They beat Him 'til He bleeds
They nail Him to the rugged cross
They raise Him, they raise Him up next to me

My time has come and I'm slowly fading
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
And He says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with Me in paradise

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