What the Cross Really Is
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, it's 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
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 it's you that they're seeing when they're looking at me
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
It's where I first saw the light
It's where you laid down your life
And my burdens they all washed away
It's 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
What the cross really 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, it's 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
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 it's you that they're seeing when they're looking at me
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
It's where I first saw the light
It's where you laid down your life
And my burdens they all washed away
It's 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
What the cross really is
