Lyrics
REMEMBER ME
(E. Genco / Tapestry of Praise Music / ASCAP - All Rights Reserved - copyright 2005)
Verse 1 The followers had too much to lose
and his disciples were fearful and confused
but a thief performed one noble act
when he chose to speak out on God's behalf
We are getting just what we deserve
but this man's done nothing wrong
it was not for His sins, that He paid
but for ours that we might be saved
Chorus Remember me when you come into your kingdom
remember me when you sit upon your throne
He looked in my direction,
His eyes of love met with mine
then He spoke this solomn promise
today my son, you'll be with me in paradise.
Verse 2 The penalty of death was quite deserving
for all the wrong that I had done
but here was a man who claimed to be
the Son of God hanging next to me
Then I heard Him cry "Abba Father"
forgive them for they know not what they do
My heart began to break and I cried out for him to
Chorus
