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, that 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 come 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 our sin
it's here you save us
