With Christ crucified,
humble, simple men;
the two thieves on the cross
dying beside the Lord.
What they must have felt,
their lives slipping away;
knowing all too well their
own sin
dying beside the unblemished
lamb.
One would deride Him
taunting God, even in pain;
the other begging for mercy
receiving the gift of Paradise.
Two thieves hanging,
making such different
choices -
mocking our Savior
or seeking His forgiveness;
Confessing our sins to God.
