1. The Message of the Cross

2. This is the message
of the cross,
that we can be free.
To live in the victory,
and turn from our sins.

3. My precious Lord Jesus,
with sinners You died,
for there You
revealed Your love
and You laid down
Your life.

4. This is the message
of the cross,
that we can be free,
to lay all
our burdens here,
at the foot of the tree.

5. The cross was the shame
of the world,
but the glory of God.
For Jesus
You conquered sin,
and gave us new life.

6. for I was broken and lost.
You set me free
when I came to the cross,
poured out Your blood
for I was broken and lost.

7. There I was healed
and You covered my sin.
It’s there You saved me,
this is the message
of the cross.

9. This is the message
of the cross,
that we can be free,
to hunger for heaven,
to hunger for Thee.

10. “The cross is
such foolishness
to the perishing,
but to those
who are being saved,
it is the power of God.

11. for I was broken and lost.
You set me free
when I came to the cross,
poured out Your blood
for I was broken and lost.

12. There I was healed
and You covered my sin.
It’s there You saved me,
this is the message
of the cross.

14. You set me free
when I come to the cross,
pour out Your blood
for I am broken and lost.

15. There I am healed
and You cover my sin.
It’s there You save me,
this is the message
of the cross.

17. Let us rejoice
at the foot of the cross,
You set us free,
glory to God.

18. Thank You Lord!
You set me free,
glory to God!
(repeat as led)
(the end)
