Story behind the song
There are many songs written about the last days of Jesus leading to His death and resurection. I thought I would write a piece of music from the viewpoint of the thief next to him on the cross.
Lyrics
Today in Paradise By Robert Sprague Chorus C C7 Now I can see the mountains F7 C From my lofty perch on high C7 And I can see the glory D7 G7 In my mansion in the sky C C7 Now I was once a wicked thief F7 C On the cross at Calvary But Jesus paid the price for me G7 C And set my spirit free Verse 1 C C7 I watched as they nailed him F7 C Upon a sinner's tree C7 When the nails had pierced his hands D7 G7 I thought how could this be C C7 Was he not the man who healed F7 C The lepers and the lame C7 Now punished for a work of love G7 C And to the cross he came Verse 2 C C7 I'd lived a life of wicked sin F7 C And I understood the cost C7 I gave no thought of heaven D7 G7 And all my hope was lost C C7 My sins were mine and mine alone F7 C No one to pay the price C7 Until He turned to me and said G7 C You'll be with me in paradise
