I AM THE OTHER THIEF I
WAS ON CALVARY'S HILL
I SAW THE MAN CALLED JESUS WHOM THE SOLDIERS KILLED
I HEARD THE FOUL CURSING MOCKERY AND SPEW
AND JESUS CRIED FORGIVE THEM FOR THEY KNOW NOT WHAT THEY DO
I FELT THE NAILS ALSO FOR THEY WERE IN MY HANDS
YET AMID MY PAIN AND SUFFERING I ALSO CURSED THAT MAN
THE OTHER THIEF THERE WITH ME ALSO SHARED THE PAIN
BUT HE CRIED LORD REMEMBER AND HIS SOUL HE GAINED
NOW HE NO LONGER SUFFERS, BUT I HAVE THIS FLAME
IF ONLY I COULD BE RENAILED I WOULD DO THE SAME
REMEMBER ME REMEMBER ME I REMEMBER WELL
BETTER TO TRUST HIM ON A CROSS THEN FEEL THE FLAMES OF HELL
 John
10:9 I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and shall
go in and out, and find pasture.
