'Man On The Middle Cross' Rhett Walker Official Lyric Video - Christian Music Videos

Listen to this beautiful and powerful song titled ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ by Rhett Walker.

“Heard the preacher talking about three wood crosses, up on a hill everyone to see
Two sinners on the outside couldn't save themselves if they tried, all I could think is
Man, that sounds like me, I’ve been the one on the left full of guilt and regret, long gone
On the wrong side of living, I've been the one on the right always looking for a fight”

What a wonderful song that reminds us of the profound impact of God’s grace and mercy. Rhett Walker co-wrote ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ with Matthew West, AJ Pruis, and Matt Jenkins. And Rhett recently shared about the inspiration behind the song and how it came to be.

“I came across a clip of Alistair Begg’s sermon on social media, and he was speaking about the two men on both sides of Jesus on the cross," said Rhett Walker. 

"The man on the right ends up in heaven. The angels in heaven, stunned, are asking, 'How are you here? You weren’t a follower of Jesus. You didn’t live a life worth gaining heaven.' And the man said, 'I don’t know how I’m here or where I am, but the man on the middle cross said I could be here.'"

He continued: "This message was such a reminder that grace and mercy have nothing to do with us. There’s nothing we could do to earn it, and nothing we could do to deserve it. It is only and has always only been about Jesus, who he is, what he did, and the grace that he continues to pour out, which is why I thank God for the man on the middle cross.”

We hope that you enjoyed listening to ‘Man On The Middle Cross’ by Rhett Walker today, and it was able to remind you of the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice.
