The Cross on the Left
The thief on the left
Am I ready to meet my maker
As I hang next to my savior
I am a worthless thief
I caused my family a lot of grief
It is almost seven
Will I make it to heaven
Will I be invited to the feast
Or will I be seen as a beast
Forgive me o father
Or will I be seen as a bother
I hang at the left of the cross
I want to live in eternity with my boss
It is my time to die
It is hard to say goodbye.
