O Ladrão da Cruz (part. Marcos e Matteus)

I was there beside Him
My sentence was the same as His
I was the thief and He was Jesus
And there was my friend on the third cross
At the top of Calvary, ready to die

I saw something different in His countenance
And I saw that was not the place for Him
My friend and I, full of sins
He, innocent, there by our side
Paying a high price even without owing

Then I remembered that while I was out there stealing
He was performing His miracles
Ending sufferings
Then I thought: How beautiful must be where He lives
But soon, He will leave
I will ask Him to remember me

Remember me
I know the Lord is not from this place
Remember me
When You enter Your kingdom

I was the sinner and He the savior
I was pure hatred, He pure love
I had a hell waiting for me
He had a paradise to offer me
I was pure darkness and He pure light
I was the thief and He was Jesus
Then I realized that my best place
Was someone putting me there on that cross

When I heard Him say to me
In paradise, today, you will be with me

Then I remembered that while I was out there stealing
He was performing His miracles
Ending sufferings
Then I thought: How beautiful must be where He lives
But soon, He will leave
I will ask Him to remember me

Remember me
I know the Lord is not from this place
Remember me
When You enter Your kingdom

I was the sinner and He the savior
I was pure hatred, He pure love
I had a hell waiting for me
He had a paradise to offer me
I was pure darkness and He pure light
I was the thief and He was Jesus
Then I realized that my best place
Was someone putting me there on that cross

I was the sinner and He the savior
I was pure hatred, He pure love
I had a hell waiting for me
He had a paradise to offer me
I was pure darkness and He pure light
I was the thief and He was Jesus
Then I realized that my best place
Was someone putting me there on that cross

When I heard Him say to me
In paradise, today, you will be with me
In paradise, today, you will be with me
