Lyrics
Remember Me
Jesus
You too died on death row!
My time is closing in on me
The brilliant sunset is fading
Darkness is overshadowing me
Fear tramples my heart
As a devastating storm
Rumbles through a deep canyon
The dark canyon of my guilt
My terrible words can never be silenced
They keep resounding in my heart
I?m sorry! I?m sorry!
Please forgive me!
The endless pain I?ve caused
The lives I have ruined?and mine
Are replayed over and over
Now, it is too late
My own life
My own death
Is my only consolation
The sweat from my head
Shall be my baptism
And the pounding of my heart
Is the only life I feel
My spirit is crushed
Like those I?ve crushed
Eye for an eye
Life, for my life
My hands and feet are fastened tight
This chair of death
I pray, I plead, is not the final judgment seat
God, as my own life comes to an end
Your truth I see shining forth from the darkest of clouds
Piercing the darkest of souls
This dark night of my soul
With your gentleness
For I am worse than the good thief next to Your cross
Forgive me, forgive me
Remember me.
