We Are All But Thieves On the Cross

Two thieves were hanging
Next to the Christ
One on his left
One on his right

One was ungrateful
For his lot in life
The other repentant
Remember me in paradise

They each had that moment 
To open their hearts
One thought it best
The other thought not

One thief was saved
The other one lost
One knew the price
Counting the cost

Knowing it's never too late
To invite Jesus in
Just do it before the day
You've reached the end
