Couplet 1

I heard the preacher talking
About three wood 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

Refrain

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 forgiving
I'm standing here today
Overwhelmed by grace
Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God
For the man on the middle cross

Couplet 2

He didn't have to do it
But for me it went thru it
A love like that I'lI never understand
Lord knows I don't deserve it
And I know I couldn't earn it
Mercy rained down on this desperate man

Refrain

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 forgiving
I'm standing here today
Overwhelmed by grace
Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God
For the man on the middle cross

Pont

The cross is where He went
But that ain't where He stayed
He brought me back to life for
When He rose up out of 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

Refrain

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 forgiving
I'm standing here today
Overwhelmed by grace
Cause I know who paid my cost
Thank God
For the man on the middle cross
