Roy Acuff - The Thief Upon the Tree lyrics

"Remember me, remember me" 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"
