Lyrics Paradise - Roy Acuff

Cried the dying thief upon the tree
The savior raised his thorn-crowned head
And to the dying thief, he said
"Today, in paradise, you will be
Because I have remembered thee"

Today I cry "Remember me"
As did the thief upon the tree
O Lord, what will your verdict be?
Will you, in mercy, say to me
"Today, in paradise, you will be
Because I have remembered thee"?

Oh sinner, cry "Remember me"
As did the thief upon the tree
This moment may your last one be
Then he could never say to thee
"Today, in paradise, you will be
Because I have remembered thee"
