Unworthy, undeserving
I stand condemned facing a death I have earned
Unworthy of this mercy
Eternal life is what you have offered me
The pure in heart will see God
They see things as they truly are
The pure in heart will see God
They recognize the truth
I watched you suffer at the hands of men
Alone you took the punishment as the heaven sent
You're the king who came to serve
I will get what I deserve
I'm just a crook
I'm nothing else
Now canonized by Christ himself
The penitent thief
Remember me
The penitent thief
Oh king, remember me
Remember me
Take away my pain and my suffering
Unworthy, but you set me free
Remember me
I'm gonna follow you
(I'm gonna follow you)
All my life
I'm gonna follow you
(Even when there's nothing left)
All my life
The pure in heart will see God
They see things as they truly are
The pure in heart will see God
They recognize the truth
This man has done nothing wrong
A wicked act to please the throng
I am dust, I know my need
I saw your innocence and I watched you bleed
The penitent thief
Oh king, remember me
I am the penitent thief
You will see me in eternity
