Remember Me
by Benny Hester

Album: Personal Best

It's eight o'clock, and I'm scared as I can be,
Just thinking as I stand outside your house,
It's been ten years if it's been three,
Walk up to your door and start to knock.
It flies open in my face,
All that I can say is the only words that come into my mind...

Remember me?
I'm the one that hurt you,
Remember me?
I'm the one that left you all alone,
Remember me?
Yes, I'm the one that stole your happiness,
And there's something I've got to say now that I'm getting things right,
Something I got to ask of someone else tonight.

I've taken and taken what never belonged to me,
I'm a thief and I'm guilty,
Though I don't deserve a thing, when you come into your kingdom, Jesus, remember me.

Remember me,
Remember me.

Tonight's the night to tell you,
Oh, He has gripped your soul and brought you here,
Remember back when you and I, we I hurt each other so,
So, there's something I've gotta say now that I'm getting it right,
Forgiveness I've got to ask from God himself tonight.

I've taken and taken what never belonged to me,
I'm a thief of the worst kind,
And, though I don't deserve a thing, remember me,
Lord, when you come into your kingdom, remember me.

No, I've never cried out for such mercy,
And now in this moment I've found it.

Remember me,
End this pain and suffering,
Remember me,
Forgive the past, and on this very day....

I will be with you in paradise,
I will be with you in paradise,
I will be with you in paradise,
I will be with you in paradise,
