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
They call the King of the Jews
Oh, they don't believe that He's the Messiah
But, somehow I know that it's true

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

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