A Thieves’ Paradise
He spend his days looking for ways
To cheat anyone that he could
Without regard to the pain nor the harm
He never lived like he should
Depending on luck till it finally caught up
Now he was sentenced to die
But there in the midst on the cross next to his
He found a savior in Christ
Chorus:
In a thieves’ paradise where a sad wasted life
Was changed by God’s amazing grace
A wretch so unworthy was shown perfect mercy
In the darkest moment he’d ever faced
He found treasures untold silver and gold
In a voice speaking new life:
“Today you will be awakened with Me
In more than a thieves’ paradise.”
Bleeding and broken he believed what was spoken
and cried to the Lord “Remember me.”
And when Heaven opened he found he’d been chosen
to stand with the ransomed and free
Chorus:
In a thieves’ paradise where a sad wasted life
Was changed by God’s amazing grace
A wretch so unworthy was shown perfect mercy
In the darkest moment he’d ever faced
He found treasures, untold silver and gold
In a voice speaking new life:
“Today you will be awakened with Me
In more than a thieves’ paradise.”
He found treasures untold, silver and gold
In a voice speaking new life
“Today you will be awakened with Me
In more than a thieves’ paradise.”
In more than a thieves’ paradise
