Criminal on the Cross Songtext
von Acappella

Well it was many years ago in the time of the Bible that they took Him up to calvary (up to calvary)
They could have let Him go, but instead they chose Barabus just to set another criminal free (just to set another criminal free)
When they crucified the ever loving, caring Master with compassion flowing from His eyes
Well, he said to a thief who was begging Him for mercy that "today you′ll live in paradise"

And I'm saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
Praise God I'm saved I′m saved, I′m saved no more to suffer loss
Well, He said I'd live in paradise (and He′s taken care of the cost) hallelujah I'm saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross

Well, on the Judgement Day when all the people gather ′round Him and they wait to hear what He will declare (what He will declare)
There will never ever be more intense anticipation that has ever happened anywhere
When they call my name to defend my reputation there is only one thing I can say
I'm a wretch I'm a worm, I′m a no good sinner" but He said, "
I′ll save you anyway"

Oh and I'm saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
Praise God I′m saved I'm saved, I′m saved no more to suffer loss
Well, He said I'd live in paradise (and He's taken care of the cost) hallelujah I′m saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross


Well, I′m saved I'm saved I′m saved I'm saved, through Jesus I am saved (through Jesus I am saved)
Well, I′m saved I'm saved I'm saved I′m saved, His mercy showed the way
(His mercy showed the way)
Well, I′m saved I'm saved I′m saved I'm saved, no more for me to say
(No more for me to say)
Well, I′m saved I'm saved I′m saved I'm saved, in paradise today

Well it was many years ago in the time of the Bible that they took Him up to calvary (up to calvary)
They could have let Him go, but instead they chose Barabus just to set another criminal free (just to set another criminal free)
When they crucified the ever loving, caring Master with compassion flowing from His eyes
Well, he said to a thief who was begging Him for mercy that "today you'll live in paradise"

Oh and I′m saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
Praise God I′m saved I'm saved, I′m saved no more to suffer loss
Well, He said I'd live in paradise (and He′s taken care of the cost) hallelujah I'm saved I'm saved, I′m saved like the criminal on the cross

I′m saved I'm saved, I′m saved like the criminal on the cross
Praise God I'm saved I′m saved, I'm saved no more to suffer loss
Well, He said I′d live in paradise (and He's taken care of the cost) hallelujah I'm saved I′m saved, I′m saved like the criminal on the cross
I'm saved I′m saved, I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
