Those crucified with
Him reproached Him too,
But one soul worked,
God-guided, towards the truth.
"Father,
forgive them - they know not what they do"
- Was that the word through which change was produced
So that the thief
confessed death was his due
While Jesus was in
every action good?
That Jesus was the
Lord he also knew
And longed to see
Christ's kingdom introduced.
The Lord did not
delay the joyful news
That paradise
followed what he endured:
But more than that
He was the Saviour who
Would be with him,
his righteousness secured.
Amen, amen.
