THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE

ONE DAY UPON THIS HILL
THREE PEOPLE WERE TO DIE
ALL FOR DIFFERENT REASONS
BY PILATE THEY WERE TRIED.

ONE HAD COMMITTED MURDER,
AND ONE HAD BEEN A THIEF,
BUT THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE,
ON HIS HEAD WAS A WREATH.

THE MURDERER WAS JUST SILENT,
REPENTANCE CAME FROM THE THIEF,
FORGIVENESS WAS GRANTED HIM,
FROM THE MAN WITH THE WREATH.

FOR THE MAN IN THE MIDDLE,
HE WAS JUST GUILTY OF LOVE,
CAME TO DIE FOR YOU AND ME,
THEN AROSE TO HEAVEN ABOVE .
