Man In The Middle, The Lyrics

Stanley Brothers Man In The Middle, The

Three men on the mountain
Up on Calvary
And the Man in the middle was Jesus
He died for you and me

Well the man on the left was a sinnin man
Tied to the cross, he bled
He could have been forgiven
But he mocked the Lord instead

You say you are the Son of God
They nailed you to that tree
Come down, come down and save us
If God your Father be


Well the man on the right was a sinner too
But he was sorry for his sins
He asked the Lord's forgiveness
And Jesus said to him

Fear not, fear not this earthly death
Before this day is o'er
You'll be with me in Paradise
On Heaven's golden shore
