He Will Remember Me

Verse 1

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.

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

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.

Chorus

Verse 3

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.

Chorus
