Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I'm a thief and a murderer, walking up this hill Looked around, heard the crowd, filled with laughter still This life of homeless wandering, outcast in sorrow's way At last the time has come to die—this dark appointed day They nailed me to a shameful tree, a place of grief and loss This child of sin and misery to die upon a cross, to die upon a cross Other men hanging also on this dying day One of them, a thief by trade, mocked the Other's claim He laughed and said, 'If you're the Christ, then save yourself and us Prove to me You're not a fraud, Come off that rugged cross!' I screamed, 'You fool! We rightly die, yet He has done no sin Then I exclaimed, remember me, and cleanse me from within' He then replied, 'My little child, I came to pay your price Today, My son, you will be with Me in Paradise' They nailed Him to a shameful tree, a place of grief and loss But the Son of God on Calvary gives life upon a cross, gives life upon a cross
