The Thief

I am a thief,
I am not proud of what i have done,
But I did it nonetheless,
I am a thief.

Who is this that hangs beside me,
He is innocent,
He does not deserve to hang here like a slab of rotten meat,
Why would a man that did nothing take the punishment for someone,

I am a thief,
I am not proud of what i have done,
But i did it nonetheless,
I am a thief.

I understand His pain,
For I have been through the same,
But I do not understand why he does this to Himself.

I am a thief,
I am not proud of what i have done,
But i did it nonetheless,
I am a thief.

I read the sign above His bleeding brow,
The King of the Jews it says,
But why would His people crucify Him?

I am a thief,
I am not proud of what i have done,
But i did it nonetheless,
I am a thief.

I have heard of this man who hangs beside me,
His name is Jesus,
He claims to be the Son of God Almighty,
No, not claims, He is the Son of God,
Why else would someone go through this torture when innocent?
