Rhett Walker - Man On The Middle Cross

[Intro]
G C G C

[Verse 1]
G
I heard the preacher talking
C
About three wooden crosses
G D
Upon a hill for everyone to see
G
Two sinners on the outside
C
Couldn’t save themselves if they tried
G D G
All I could think is man that sounds like me

[Chorus]
C
I’ve been the one on the left
G
Full of guilt and regret
D Em
Long gone on the wrong side of living
C
I’ve been the one on the right
G
Always looking for a fight
D Em
Thinking I could never be forgiven
C G
I’m standing here today overwhelmed by grace
D Em
‘Cause I know who paid my cost
C D G C
Thank God for the man on the middle cross

[Verse 2]
G
He didn’t have to do it
C
But for me He went through it
G D
A love like that I’ll never understand
G
Lord knows I don’t deserve it
C
And I know I couldn’t earn it
G D G
Let mercy rain down on this desperate man

[Chorus]
C
I’ve been the one on the left
G
Full of guilt and regret
D Em
Long gone on the wrong side of living
C
I’ve been the one on the right
G
Always looking for a fight
D Em
Thinking I could never be forgiven
C G
I’m standing here today overwhelmed by grace
D Em
‘Cause I know who paid my cost
C D G C
Thank God for the man on the middle cross

[Bridge]
D
The cross is where He went
Em
Oh but that ain’t where He stayed
C
He brought me back to life
G D
When He rose up outta that grave
D
Someday I’ll stand before Him
Em
And I’ll see Jesus face to face
C
I’ll worship and adore Him
D
For a life forever changed

[Chorus]
C
I’ve been the one on the left
G
Full of guilt and regret
D Em
Long gone on the wrong side of living
C
I’ve been the one on the right
G
Always looking for a fight
D Em
Thinking I could never be forgiven
C G
I’m standing here today overwhelmed by grace
D Em
‘Cause I know who paid my cost
C D Em
Thank God for the man on the middle cross
C D C C C C G
Thank God for the man on the middle cross
