I also am looking for the song that goes:
Two thieves hung near Jesus on either side
They watched as he suffered and died
Though one called his name, one died in shame.

I don't know where the third verse mentioned came from, but here are the words as I have used them for almost 40 years.

Three crosses once stood on a lonely hill
where three were crucified.
There was one without blame on the middle cross
and a thief on either side.

(Ch) O the man on the middle cross was my Lord
Dying to save me from loss.
Sinless and blameless I see him now
Looking down from the middle cross.

On Calvary's dark hill where the crosses stood
My Savior in anguish tossed,
"Father, oh Father forgive them now."
Came the cry from the middle cross.

Marvelous Grace

Man on the Middle Cross

The man on the middle cross, His name is Jesus
The man on the middle cross, oh, He died for my sins,
The man on the middle cross, He's the Savior of this world,
The man on the middle cross, He reigns within

He was in middle, two thieves at His side
One was pardoned, sent to Paradise
Oh, yes, it was the Son of God
Who forgave him of his sin so vast
Yet, you and I will hesitate and carry such heavy load,
Well our lives can only be made complete by the man on the middle cross.

The man on the middle cross, His name is Jesus
The man on the middle cross, oh, He died for my sins,
The man on the middle cross, He's the Savior of this world,
The man on the middle cross, He reigns within me.

He took my sins, turned my life around,
Make me find such peace of mind
I'll reccomend Him to the whole wide world
To serve Him as the days go by
Such bliss in Him I just can't explain
Oh yes, He's a friend of mine
Come taste and see the Lord is good
A Savior to all mankind.

The man on the middle cross, His name is Jesus
The man on the middle cross, oh, He died for my sins,
The man on the middle cross, He's the Savior of this world,
The man on the middle cross, He reigns and lives within me.

(spoken)
Yes, my friends, I'm talking about the man who writes the final chapter.
I'm talking about the man who can take your broken heart and mend it.
I'm talking about the life-giver, the life-taker, the sea-walker, the dead-raiser.
I'm talking about the man that sits on the circle of the earth.
I'm talking about Jesus Christ.

The man on the middle cross, His name is Jesus
The man on the middle cross, oh, He died for my sins,
The man on the middle cross, He's the Savior of this world,
The man on the middle cross, He reigns within.

The man on the middle cross, His name is Jesus
The man on the middle cross, oh, He died for my sins,
The man on the middle cross, He's the Savior of this world,
The man on the middle cross, He reigns within me
Oh Jesus, yeah, He lives within me, reigns within me.
