Cross to Paradise

Three men hung on a hill that day,
nailed on crosses made of wood.
Two men were vile, lawless thieves;
the other man was pure and good.
The two thieves flung hate-filled curses
to mock the innocent One
Till one man called upon the Lord,
and his new life was begun.
That moment, he knew it was God's Son
upon that center cross;
Terror-stricken, he felt his sin
and trembled at his dreadful loss.

Cross over to paradise - Cross over to Jesus' side
Surrender your foolish pride - Cross over today!
The cross is the only way your sin debt can be repaid
We all have a choice to make - Cross over today!

He cried out to the Savior,
"Oh, my Lord, remember me!"
And Jesus told him, "This day you
will come to paradise with me."
The dying thief repented,
and the Savior heard his fervent plea;
Now I repent and turn to Christ -
Oh, my Lord, please remember me!
"Dear Jesus, when my life is o'er
and that great Judgment Day is due,
Forget me not, come take me home
to dwell in paradise with You.

Cross over to paradise - Cross over to Jesus' side
Surrender your foolish pride - Cross over today!
The cross is the only way your sin debt can be repaid!
Now you have a choice to make - Cross over today!
