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
