"The Thief"

I am a thief, I am a murderer They laugh at Him in mockery Walking up this lonely hill And they beat Him 'til He bleeds What have I done? No, I don't remember And they nail Him to the rugged cross No one knows just how I feel They raise Him, yeah, they raise Him up next to me And I know that my time is coming soon My time has come and I'm slowly fading It's been so long, oh, such a long time I deserve what I receive Since lived with peace and rest Jesus when You are in Your kingdom Now I am here, my destination Could You please, please remember me? I guess things work for the best And I know that my time is coming soon And He looks at me still holding on The tears fall from His eyes Who is this man? This man beside me And He says I tell the truth They call the King of the Jews Today, you will be with Me in paradise They don't believe that He's the Messiah And I know that my time, yes my time is coming soon But somehow, I know that it's true And I know that my time, yes my time, is coming soon And I know Paradise, Paradise is coming soon

Offering

"Tell Me The Stories of Jesus"

Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; things I would ask him to tell me if he were here: scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.

First let me hear how the children stood round his knee, and i shall fancy his blessing resting on me; words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, and in the love light of Jesus' face.

Into the city I'd follow the children's band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; one of his heralds, yes I would sing, loudest hosannas, "Jesus is King"

Words: William H. Parker, 1883 Music: Frederick A Challinor, 1903
