Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
a carpenter who is God in the form of man
We've turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too
Can't deny it or prove that you're a fool
History revolves around this one event
One man changed the world, killed for our sins
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Hang it from our necks without a thought of why
Vicious form of slaughter, innocence on trial
It's tragedy attracts the sufferers and the shamed,
it's hope pulls in the searchers, the sick and the lame
The cross the center point on which our faith must rest
Christ crucified and risen, the firstfruits from the dead
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life
Hanging from the cross the greatest claim of man,
a carpenter who is God in the form of man
We've turned it upside down, burned and mocked it too
Can't deny it or prove that you're a fool
History revolves around this one event
One man changed the world, killed for our sins
You can't ignore the lumber that suspends the greatest truth,
wood splintered by the nails that split the flesh in two
Cross Hope Cross Hope
From death comes life
