Message of the Cross

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free

To live in the victory, and turn from our sin

My precious Lord, Jesus, with sinners You died

For there you revealed Your love and you laid down Your life

This is the message of the cross, than we can be free

To lay all our burdens here, at the foot of the tree

The cross was the shame of the world, but the glory of God

For Jesus, you conquered sin and you gave us new life

You set me free when I came to the cross

Poured out Your blood for I was broken and lost

There I was healed and You covered my sin

It's there You saved me, this is the message of the cross

This is the message of the cross, that we can be free

To hunger for heaven, to hunger for Thee

"The cross is such foolishness to the perishing

But to us who are being saved it is the power of God"

You set us free when we come to the cross

You pour out Your blood for we are broken and lost

Here we are healed and You cover out sin

It's here You save us
