Oh Lord Remember Me

When on the cross of calvary
The lord was crucified
The mob stood 'round about him
And they mocked him until he died
And there were two thieves hanging
There beside him just to share the agony
But one of them cried out to him, oh lord remember me

Oh, what a shame to kill him
Out there on that rugged cross
But such a death was needed
Just to rescue all of us that was lost
His blood is made a ransom
Just to set the captives free
I know that I'm included
And I know God will remember me

Will the lord remember me when I am called to go'
When I have crossed death's chilly sea
Will he his love there show'
Oh, yes, he heard my feeble cries
From bondage set me free
And when I reach the pearly gates he will remember me
