BETWEEN THE THIEVES

by Stan Countz

CHORUS
He hung there on that cursed tree
High on that hill between the thieves
He paid the price for you and me
That we might be set free for all eternity

VERSE 1
One cursed his name and laughed
The other was ashamed and asked
If He would remember him when
He came into His kingdom

VERSE 2
He had no time to be baptized
The King was a willing sacrifice
“This day you’ll be with me in paradise.”
He said as He gave up His life

CHORUS
He hung there on that cursed tree
High on that hill between the thieves
He paid the price for you and me
That we might be set free for all eternity

OUTRO
Which of the two are you?
The one who cursed the son
Or the one who believed?
I think you know what to do
Go and show them the truth
So they won’t be deceived
He proved His love for you and me
When He hung there on that curse tree
He chose to do His father’s will
High on that hill between the thieves
