The Thief Upon The Tree Lyrics - Roy Acuff

"Remember me, remember me" 

Cried the dying thief upon the tree 

The savior raised his thorn-crowned head 

And to the dying thief, he said 

"Today, in paradise, you will be 

Because I have remembered thee" 

Today I cry "Remember me" 

As did the thief upon the tree 

O Lord, what will your verdict be? 

Will you, in mercy, say to me 

"Today, in paradise, you will be 

Because I have remembered thee"? 

Oh sinner, cry "Remember me" 

As did the thief upon the tree 

This moment may your last one be 

Then he could never say to thee 

"Today, in paradise, you will be 

Because I have remembered thee"
