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 (but the Cross) says they're wrong (says they're wrong)
 Don't believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away
 'Cause His blood ('cause His blood) says you're loved (says you're loved)
 Every lie is bound to leaven 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
 But the Cross (but the Cross) says they're wrong (says they're wrong)
 Don't believe the words they say, let the truth wash them away
 'Cause His blood ('cause His blood) says you're loved (says you're loved)
 Every lie is bound to leave when there's nothing you believe but the Cross
 Shame tells me I'm broken (I've been broken)
 But I know I'm forgiven (I'm forgiven)
 Fear tells me it's over (it's not over)
 But this is the beginning (it's the beginning)
 (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh) they can say whatever they want
 (Oh-oh-oh-oh-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 (His blood) says I'm loved (I'm loved)
 Every lie is bound to leave when there's nothing we believe but the Cross (the Cross)
 (I know I'm forgiven) of the Cross, the Cross
 (This is the beginning) of the Cross
