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 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 our sin
It's here you save us

You set me free when I come to the cross
Pour out your blood for I am broken and lost
Here I am healed and you cover my sin
It's here you save me, this is the message of the cross

Let us rejoice at the foot of the cross
We can be free, glory to God

Thank you Lord, thank you Lord
You've set us free, glory to God
