Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I woke to a light I’d never known
No chains, no cross, no bloodstained stone
Just breath returning, fear undone
On the other side of what I’d done

[Verse 2]
I stood where the gates stood open wide
Peace like a river on the other side
A stillness deeper than my shame
And a voice that asked me why I came

[Pre-Chorus]
No water touched my broken skin
No altar heard my prayer begin
No righteous path behind my span
Just a wasted life, I’m a guilty man

[Chorus]
The Man on the middle cross said I could come
He cried out it is done
No ladder I climbed, no debt I outran
The Man on the middle cross said I could come

[Verse 3]
They asked me what I understood
Of sacred words or living good
What truth I held, what law I knew
What claim I made that brought me through

[Verse 4]
I said I have no case to plead
No final work, no faithful creed
I only know when hope was gone
He looked at me and I said you did no wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
When my heart demands a reason why
And weighs His mercy by my life
I flee again to Calvary’s ground
Till every claim is silenced by the Crucified One

[Chorus]
The Man on the middle cross said I could come
He cried out it is done
Not merit earned nor will begun
No standing left but grace alone
The Man on the middle cross said I could come

[Bridge]
No strength to save me at the end
No last good deed I could defend
Just mercy spoken, full and free
From wounded hands stretched out for me

[Chorus]
The Man on the middle cross said I could come
His final word still overcomes
My only hope, my only plea
Was mercy spoken over me

[Outro]
I stand here not by what I’ve done
But by the word of God’s own Son
And every breath forever comes
From the Man on the middle cross
Who cried out it is done
And said I could come
