Thief Lyrics


I am a thief, I am a murderer
Walking up this lonely hill
What have I done? No, I don't remember
And no one knows just how I feelAnd I know that my time is coming soon
It's been so long, oh, such a long time
Since I've lived with peace and rest
And now I am here, my destination
I guess things work for the best
And I know that my time is coming soonWho is this man? This man beside me
They call the King of the Jews
They don't believe that He's the Messiah
But, somehow I know that it's trueThey laugh at Him in mockery
And beat Him till He bleeds
They nail Him to the rugged cross
And raise Him, they raise Him up next to meMy time has come, I'm slowly fading
But I deserve what I receive
Jesus when You are in Your kingdom
Could You please, please remember me?And He looks at me still holding on

And the tears fall from His eyes
And he says I tell the truth
Today, you will live with Me in paradiseAnd I know that my time, my time is coming soon
And I know that my time, my time is coming soon
And I know paradise, paradise is coming soon

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Honeytree was born into a family of professional classical musicians. Honeytree (a translation from German of her family name) was drawn toward the hippie kids at school. She became a drug addict and one summer in 1970 she met some Jesus People at her sister's art school, and became one herself. After graduating, she worked at a youth ministry in Ft. Wayne, Indiana called Adams Apple, a part of the Jesus movement, and it was during these years that she began to write songs about her Christianity, recording her self-titled first album in 1973.
