Story behind the song
I had my own music to this but being new to the internet and not thinking I was much of a musician, I had Paramount Group do the music for this. I am thinking I am going back to my version, but for now this is it. Also the line should be "You fool now don't you fear God"
Lyrics
Man On a Cross There's a man on the cross Hanging right next to me And the people are mocking him For what I can not see And his response is righteousness To their laughing and scorn "King of the Jews" his sentence reads Can you tell me where this man was born All my life I've been wandering And the path it has lead me astray Yet in the darkness around me I feel the hope of a dawning new day Over there on the other cross Is a man my partner in crime With his tongue he lashed out in mockery "Come off the cross and save me from mine "You fool, now don't you fear God For like we so is he condemned" "But ours, now ours, is a just reward But his is for the sins of all men!" O what a day seems a-dawning As the light of his face shines through Is it God on the cross hanging next to me? I believe, O, I believe that it's true So I rest my chin on my chest And I cry out to him with my plea "O Lord when you in your Kingdom come Will you please remember me?" Then all of my sin I know fell away As I reached with my lungs for the air And in my ears I heard the words of forgiveness "In paradise with me you'll be there"

I wrote music and words to this but I really do not think I am much of a musician, so I had a group I think was called Paramount do music to my words. they changed one line that I did not like, "You fool, now don't you fear God". So if you ever do this song I would appreciate you would change the line.
