Man In the Middle

I never worked one honest day
Took my living from other folks' pay
I knew one day they'd catch up with me
Now they've nailed me up for the world to see
Now there's a man on the other side of this hill
And just like me, he was born to steal
Two common thieves must pay for their mistakes
Now our time has run out, all that's left to do is hate

And the Man in the middle
Just keeps on giving His love away
And above the groans of the dying
He's crying, "come live with Me today"
Still no one sees that He's who He claims to be
And this Man in the middle
Keeps giving His love away

Every man is a thief in some light
Stealing from God, now you know that ain't right
Taking His time, Taking His name
Taking His Word, taking it all in vain
Every thief has a price on his head
But Jesus paid it all with the blood that He shed
Gave Himself as a sacrifice
Now He stands in the gap between hell and paradise

And this Man in the middle
Just keeps on giving His love away
And above the groans of the dying
He's crying, "come live with Me today"
Still no one sees that He's who He claims to be
And this Man in the middle
Keeps giving His love away

This Man in the middle
Just keeps on giving His love away
And above the groans of the dying
He's crying, "come live with Me today"
Still no one sees that He's who He claims to be
And the Man in the middle
Keeps giving His love away
And the Man in the middle
Keeps giving His love away
The Man in the middle
Keeps giving His love away
