What The Cross Really Is

Brian Free & Assurance

Lyrics

Everyone sees a cross For what it is It's not a place of hope It's a place of suffering Everyone sees a grave for what it is It's not a door to victory its a final ending But when a savior chooses to make a sacrifice It shows me what Calvary really looks like It Looks like shackles being broken Like burdens being lifted Like sinners finally free from their guilt and shame Looks like hope that's never ending Like darkness into blessing I pray that I never miss What the cross really is Lord you gave me new eyes so I could see All of your mercies right there in front of me Let my faith walk on water let the world finally see That its you that they're seeing when they're looking at me It Looks like shackles being broken Like burdens being lifted Like sinners finally free from their guilt and shame Looks like hope that's never ending Like darkness into blessing I pray that I never miss What the cross really is Its where I first saw the light Where you laid down your life And my burdens all washed away Its where my sin couldn't hide From my savior who died So that I would know what a sacrifice really looks like It Looks like shackles being broken Like burdens being lifted Like sinners finally free from their guilt and shame Looks like hope that's never ending Like darkness into blessing I pray that I never miss What the cross really is What the cross really is What the cross really is
