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

And He looks at me still holding on

The tears fall from His eyes

And He says I tell the truth

Today, you will be with Me in paradise, oh yes

And I know that my time, my time is coming soon, oh yeah, yes

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

And I know Paradise, Paradise is coming soon

Offerings album version:

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, 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, yeah

They call the King of the Jews

They don't believe that He's the Messiah

But somehow, I know it's true

They laugh at Him in mockery

And they beat Him 'til He bleeds

And 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? Yeah

And He looks at me still holding on

The tears fall from His eyes

And He says I tell the truth

Today, yeah, you will be 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 yes

And I know Paradise, Paradise is coming soon

Oh yes, oh yes
