We've always been friends
Stuck through thick and thin
But I just can't believe what I'm hearing
We've been guilty so long
But this man's done no wrong
And you curse the one we should be fearing
Our lives were the same
Now we're dying in shame
Together as they've always seen us
But here's where we part
I've had a change of heart
Since this man on the cross came between us
The man on the cross stands between you and me
And I want the whole world to know
I was locked in a prison but I've been set free
With my guilt lost in Calvary's flow
And I'm not ashamed to be called by His name
Cause He gave His life to redeem us
When they lay me low I want them to know
The man on the cross stands between us
Each morning we meet
When I awake from my sleep
And the picture gets clearer and clearer
That I must let it show
Cause the world only knows
The one that I see in the mirror
I may tremble inside
But I've nothing to hide
They must see that there's a difference between us
So to face them I go
And I'm letting them know
That the man on the cross stands between us
The man on the cross stands between you and me
And I want the whole world to know
I was locked in a prison but I've been set free
With my guilt lost in Calvary's flow
And I'm not ashamed to be called by His name
Cause he gave His life to redeem us
Wherever I go I'll let the world know
The man on the cross stands between us
No I'm not ashamed to be called by His name
Cause He gave His life to redeem us
Wherever I go I'll let the world know
That the man on the cross stands between us
