My Example

 

 The Good Thief

By Paul McCann

 

The day came to Calvary

Three crosses stood on a hill.

 The crowd began to gather,

Before the blood began to spill .

 Two others and I were sentenced  ,

the cross could not resist.

 But one was an innocent man.

How could they have done this ?

 For this is the man who knelt down

 and wept by olive trees .

 He was whipped like me until he

 fell on his bended knees .

They nailed him to a cross  ,

like me but  did not question why .

Upon a cross with outstretched arms ,

he'd suffer then he'd die .

 But I am just a common thief and they've misunderstood .

 Beside me Jesus sacrificed his life  .

Impaled on wood .

 A crown of thorns upon his head.

the King Of Cavalry .

 Remember in your Kingdom Lord .

a good thief just like me .
