A Cross Between a Sinner and a Saint

Well, when I was young, had the wrong kind of fun, man

I was restless, so restless

Had my share of fights, got licked once or twice

Man, I was reckless, so reckless

But Sunday morning service, momma would kneel at the cross

Preacher'd look straight at me, and he'd lay down the law

All because

I was a cross between a sinner and a saint

Cross between what you are and what you ain't

I've been a rebel, cursed the devil, really raised my share of hell

But God can see the good my momma can't

I'm a cross between a sinner and a saint

Jesus hung on the tree, right between those two thieves

One was a laughing, he just kept on laughing

Said come on, use that crown, can't you get us down?

Make it happen, can't you make it happen?

The other man said, "Hey, why don't you leave him alone?

He is great and he's done nothing wrong

But Jesus hung on

A cross between a sinner and a saint

Caught between what we are and what we ain't

He took the nails, he paid the price, and made the needed sacrifice

Thank the Lord that he did what he can

On a cross between a sinner and a saint

On a cross between a sinner and a saint

Caught between what we are and what we ain't

He took the nails, he paid the price, and made the needed sacrifice

Thank the Lord that he did what he can

On a cross between a sinner and a saint

A sinner and a saint

A sinner and a saint
