The Cross Still Speaks

I was running down a highway

With a weight I couldn’t name

Every mile behind me

Looked a lot like shame

Then I heard an old,

old story

In a small-town church one night

Love came looking for a sinner

And it turned my darkness light

They said, “Son, you don’t have to earn it

You don’t have to pay the price”

I fell down at that altar

When I saw the sacrifice

For God so loved this broken world He gave His one and

only Son So whoever calls on Jesus

Will never be undone

I was lost, but now I’m found I was bound,

but now I’m free Forever written in my heart

John 3:16

I’ve seen hard times on the prairie

I’ve seen storms tear through the plains I’ve watched good men lose

their way

And carry silent pain

But there’s a name above the thunder

There’s a hope that won’t let go

When the world says you’re too far gone His mercy says,

“Come home”

No chain is too strong to break

No past too stained to clean

When the King of all creation

Steps into the in-between

For God so loved this broken world He gave His one and

only Son So whoever calls on Jesus

Will never be undone

I was lost, but now I’m found I was bound,

but now I’m free Forever written in my heart

John 3:16

Let the church bells ring out louder!

Let the redeemed lift up a sound!

Every valley,

every prison

Let the name of Jesus resound!

He didn’t come to condemn us— He came to make us whole!

There is power in the blood There is healing for the soul!

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh! The grave could not hold Him!

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh! The cross still speaks today!

Whoa-oh, whoa-oh! Lift your hands,

ye weary— There’s a better way!

For God so loved this broken world He gave His one and

only Son So whoever calls on Jesus

Will never be undone!

I was lost, but now I’m found

I was bound, but now I’m free Shout it from the mountaintop:

John 3:16! Forever written in my heart…
