Start Jamming...
[C] [G] I heard the preacher talking [C]
about three [G] wooden crosses
upon a hill for everyone [D] to see.
[G] Two sinners on the outside [C] couldn't save [G] themselves if they tried.
All I could [D] think is, man, that sounds like [G] me.
[C] I've been the one on the left full of [G] guilt and regret,
[D] long gone on the [Em] wrong side of living.
[C] I've been the one on the [G] right always looking for a [D] fight,
thinking I could never [Em] be forgiven.
[C] I'm standing here [G] today overwhelmed by [D] grace
because I know who paid [Em] my cost.
[C] Thank God [D] for the man on the middle [G]
cross.
[C] [G] He didn't have to do it, [C] but for me he [G] went through it.
A love like that I'll never [D] understand.
[Bm] Lord knows I [G] don't deserve it, [C] and I know I [G] couldn't earn it,
but mercy rained [D] down on this [G] desperate man.
I've been [C] the one on the left [G] full of guilt and regret,
[D] long gone on the wrong [Em] side of living.
I've been [C] the one on the right [G] always looking for a fight,
[D] thinking I could never be [Em] forgiven.
[C] I'm standing here today [G] overwhelmed by grace
because I know who paid [Em] my cost.
Thank [C] God for [D] the man on the middle [G] cross.
[D] The cross is where he went, [Em] but that ain't where he stayed.
He [C] brought me back to life when he [G] rose up [N] out of that grave.
