But The Cross

I heard shame told you a story 
That you can’t escape your past 
That the innocence you lost 
There’s no way to get it back 
I heard fear sold you some fiction 
You bought everything he had 
Made you too afraid to live 
And kept your heart under attack 

They say you’re too guilty for His grace 
You’re too far gone and now you’re too late 

But the cross says they’re wrong 
Don’t believe the words they say 
Let the truth wash them away 
Cause His blood says you’re loved 
Every lie is bound to leave 
When there’s nothing you believe but the cross 

I’ve been right there where you’re standing 
All those things they told me too 
That I was out of second chances 
And I was only born to lose 
They said I was born to lose 

Shame tells me I’m broken, But I know I’m forgiven 
Fear tells me it’s over, But this is the beginning 
Oh, They can say whatever they want 
Oh, They can say whatever they want 

But the cross says they’re wrong 
I don’t believe the words they say 
Cause the truth washed them away 
Oh, His blood says I’m loved 
Every lie is bound to leave 
When there’s nothing we believe 
But the cross
