Man on the Middle Cross Lyrics


by Rhett Walker

[Verse 1]
I heard the preacher talking
about three wooden crosses
up on 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.

[Chorus]
I’ve been the one on the left full of guilt on the of living.
I’ve been the one on the for a I could never forgiven.
I’m today I know paid my cost.
God.
For the on the cross.

[Verse 2]
didn’t have to do it,
for me went through it.
like that I’ll never understand.

Lord knows I don’t deserve it,
I know I couldn’t earn it.
mercy rained down on desperate man.

[Chorus]
I’ve been the one on the left full of guilt on the of living.
I’ve been the one on the for a I could never forgiven.
I’m today I know paid my cost.
God.
For the on the cross.

[Bridge]
cross is went,
oh that ain’t stayed.
brought me back to life up of that grave.

Someday I’ll stand before him
I’ll Jesus face to face.
I’ll him
for a life forever changed.

[Chorus]
I’ve been the one on the left full of guilt on the of living.
I’ve been the one on the for a I could never forgiven.
I’m today I know paid my cost.
God.
For the on the cross.

God.
For the on the cross.
