Message of the Cross

VERSE:
[G]This is the messa[C2]ge of the cross,
That we c[G]an be free.
To live in [C2]the victory,  And [G]turn from our sin.
My precio[Am7]us Lor[C2]d Jesus,   wit[G]h sinners You died.
For there [Am7]You revealed Your love
[C2] And Y[C]ou [D]laid do[G]wn [C]Yo[G]ur life.

VERSE 2:
[G] This is the messa[C2]ge of the cross
That we c[G]an be free, [C2]To lay all our burdens here
At the foot [G]of the tree.
The cross [Am7]was the shame of the world,
[C2] But the glor[G]y of God.
For Jesu[Am7]s, You conquered sin
[C2] And Y[C]ou [D]gave [G]us [C]ne[G]w [G]life.

CHORUS:
[G] You set [D]me free when I [G]came to the cross,
Poured out [D]Your blood fo[G]r I was broken and lost.
There I [D]was healed, and [Em]You covered my sin.
It's there Y[C2]ou saved me;
[D7sus] This is the message[G] of [C]th[G]e cross.

VERSE 3:
[G] This is the messa[C2]ge of the cross
That we c[G]an be free,
To hung[C2]er for heaven, Lor[G]d, to hunger for Thee.
The cross [Am7]is such [C2]foolishness [G] to the perishing,
But to us w[Am7]ho are being saved,
[C2] It is the [C]p[D]ower [G]of [C]Go[G]d.[G]

CHORUS 2:
[G] You set [D]us free when w[G]e come to the cross,
Pour out Y[D]our blood, for [G]we are broken and lost.
Here we[D] are healed a[Em]nd You cover our sin.
It's here Y[C2]ou save us.
[D7sus] This is the message[G] of [C]th[G]e [G]cross.

OUTRO:
[G]Let us rejoice [D]at the foot of the cross.
[C2]We can be [G]free, [D]glory to God!
T[G]hank You, [D]Lord, Thank You, Lord.
Y[C2]ou've set us[G] free, [D]glo[G]ry to God!
