    LYRICS:
    Well it was many years ago in the time of the Bible that they took him up to Calvary
    They could have let Him go, but instead they chose Barabus just to set another criminal free
    When they crucified the ever loving, caring Master with compassion flowing from his eyes
    Well, he said to a thief who was begging him for mercy that "today you'll live in paradise."
    And I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
    Praise God I'm saved, no more to suffer loss
    Well, He said I'd live in Paradise and he's taken care of the cost
    Hallelujah! I'm saved like the criminal on the cross
    Well, on the Judgement Day when all the people gather 'round Him and they wait to hear what He will declare
    There will never ever be more intense anticipation that has ever happened anywhere
    When they call my name to defend my reputation there is only one thing I can say
    "I'm a wretch I'm a worm, I'm a no good sinner." But he said, "I'll save you anyway."
    Well, I'm saved, I'm saved, through Jesus I am saved
    Well, I'm saved, I'm saved, His mercy showed the way
    Well, I'm saved, I'm saved, no more for me to say
    Well, I'm saved, I'm saved in Paradise today
    I'm saved like the criminal on the cross

    You know you are killing it when you have legends fixated on every single note. Those people weren't loud because they were so in tune with the performance and the soulfulness sound of the group.

    I had the pleasure of picking up George from the airport for a concert in San Diego years ago. An incredibly humble and soft spoken man. But man that voice reverberated throughout our congregation like nothing I've ever heard! To this day he's my favorite gospel singer.

      @Julian Machen It is a rare gift delivering a wonderful message : lm saved like the criminal on the cross halleluya. My brother, l don't think the message would stick into my head the way it does...for over 30 years now, if it was sung by a less talented singer. The talent undoubtedly pushes the message even further. God definitely knows what he is about, doesn't He?
