Man On The Middle Cross Chords

[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
