85. The Cross

You've been trying hard to bear the weight of all your shame, And if there's a God up there you're sure he forgot your name, When your steps are getting heavy and hope looks all but lost, Just bring it all to the cross.

Come and see the Savior's love that would die to make you new, Nothing you have ever done can change what mercy's done for you, And if you ever wonder if you're worth so great a cost, Look up and see the cross.

Who told you grace can't reach the messed-up ones like you? Has the devil made you believe that the lies he tells are true? When you're sure that you're the one who's wandered too far off, It's not too late, just come home to the cross.

Ev'rybody's got a list at least a mile long, Of ev'ry scar and ev'ry sin from ev'rywhere that we've gone wrong, But there's reason for rejoicing and the reason is because, That list was nailed to the cross.

He was wounded for your wounds, pierced for all your sin, By his stripes you are healed, died so you could rise again. He let the blood and water flow and did it all to let you know, You're the reason that he went to the cross.
