The Band of Brothers: MP3s/Lyrics

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)
• MP3 play whole song, lo-fi (modem)

Note from Michael: As Henry says in his lyric: this is his core belief. We think it is a masterpiece of Christian songwriting.

Instrumentation: Henry Robin: vocal & 12-string guitar; Jamie Stevens: mandolin; Bruce Bailey: guitar.

Whenever people ask me about my core beliefs,

I tell them the story of Jesus and the thief.

When I hear that story, it's plain for me to see,

The thief that died upon the cross could easily be me.

Yeah, the thief that died with Jesus, could easily be me.

His life was probably meager, not much he could afford,

The only thing that saved him, was he recognized the Lord.

And the question you must answer, when all your time is through,

Will you know Jesus when you see Him? And will he remember you?

Oh, we'll never know the reason he was nailed onto that tree,

But he looked into Jesus' eyes and said, "Lord, remember me".

His life was less than perfect, that's all that he could say,

But Jesus looked at him and said, "You'll be with me today".

"When I come into my kingdom, you will be with Me today".

So, as we lead our troubled lives, one hope we can embrace,

The Son of God can deliver, the entire human race.

So when Satan tells you all is lost, return his scorn with laughter,

'Cause the thief that died upon the cross, lives happily ever after.
