[Verse 1]
Caught in our crimes I guess that we both knew
Someday that both of us would both be wanted and doomed

[Refrain 1]
We did so wrong
We did so wrong
We did so wrong
We did so wrong

[Verse 2]
I'm on a stake my arms outstretched not far from Him
They've got two wicked men on crosses now hanging'
With One who didn't sin

[Refrain 2]
He did no wrong
He did no wrong
He did no wrong
He did no wrong

[Chorus 1]
I'm not too quick to prepare to die
But I'm going to act real fast with Jesus Christ
I've got two seconds to verify
I'm not too wicked for Paradise
[Instrumental Break feat. Electric Guitar]

[Interlude]
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
Whoa-oh-oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

[Verse 3]
I'm gonna beg you, Lord, forgive those awful years
And when your kingdom comes I hope You'll savе me
He said, "Well, listеn here"
("You know what?")

[Refrain 3]
I'll take you along
Take you along
Take you along
Take you along

[Chorus 2]
I've got true riches in Paradise
Those who ask Me that won't be denied
I've got you with Me in Paradise
So don't you act real sad, you'll see tonight

[Chorus 3 - Outro]
I've got true riches in Paradise
Those who ask Me that won't be denied
I've got you with Me in Paradise
I've brought you with Me to Paradise
