Lyrics by Danny Whaley

Alistair Begg appears courtesy of Parkside Church


I did what they say I did, to put me on this tree.
I am a liar, I’m a thief, sin is what I bleed.
(Now there’s a) sinless man, hanging here, next to me
What has he done to pay for the hate that you breed?


He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man in the middle; he said he lived… to… die.
He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man on the middle cross; he came, he lived to die


Above His head, they wrote, this is the “King of the Jews.”
What could he have done to breed this hate inside of you?
Father, forgive them, for they know not… what they do
The sin of all mankind lays upon HIS cross for you.


He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man in the middle; he said he lived… to… die.
He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man on the middle cross; he came, he lived to die

There is no greater love than to lay your life down for a friend
I need to change my heart to be more like, more like him.


He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man in the middle; he said he lived… to… die.
He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He was the man on the middle cross; he came, he lived to die


He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He was the man in the middle; he said he lived… to… die.
He’s doing this for me, and I don’t know why.
He is the man on the middle cross; he came, he… lived… to… die!
