Man on the Middle Cross
I heard the preacher talking
About three wooden crosses
Upon a hill for everyone to see
Two sinners on the outside
Couldn't save themselves if they tried
All I could think is man, that sounds like me
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
He didn't have to do it
But for me, He went through it
A love like that, I'll never understand
Lord knows I don't deserve it
And I know I couldn't earn it
Let mercy rain down on this desperate man
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
The cross is where He went (He went)
Oh, but that ain't where He stayed (He stayed)
He brought me back to life
When He rose up outta that grave (that grave)
Someday I'll stand before Him
And I'll see Jesus face to face
I'll worship and adore Him
For a life forever changed
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross (middle cross)
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
About three wooden crosses
Upon a hill for everyone to see
Two sinners on the outside
Couldn't save themselves if they tried
All I could think is man, that sounds like me
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
He didn't have to do it
But for me, He went through it
A love like that, I'll never understand
Lord knows I don't deserve it
And I know I couldn't earn it
Let mercy rain down on this desperate man
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
The cross is where He went (He went)
Oh, but that ain't where He stayed (He stayed)
He brought me back to life
When He rose up outta that grave (that grave)
Someday I'll stand before Him
And I'll see Jesus face to face
I'll worship and adore Him
For a life forever changed
I've been the one on the left, full of guilt and regret
Long-gone on the wrong side of living
I've been the one on the right, always looking for a fight
Thinking I could never be forgiven
I'm standing here today, overwhelmed by grace
'Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross (middle cross)
Thank God for the Man on the middle cross
