When on the cross of Calvary, the Lord was crucified
The mob stood 'round Him and mocked until He died
Two thieves were nailed beside Him to share the agony
But one of them cried out to Him, O Lord remember me

Will the Lord remember me when I am called to go'
When I have crossed death's chilly sea, will He His love there show'
O yes, He heard my feeble cries, from bondage set me free
And when I reach the pearly gates He will remember me

O, what a shame to kill Him there on that rugged cross
But such a death was needed to rescue all the lost
His blood made a ransom to set the captives free
I know that I'm included and He will remember me

At His dear feet I'm kneeling, my sins I now confess
I bow in deep repentance, my soul He'll surely bless
My blinded eyes He opens so that the light I see
And when I reach the pearly gates, He will remember me
