Talley Trio - The Message

I Love the Cross

It was meant to be a symbol, of suffering and death
A place of shame, a place of mystery
But when thy cross held Jesus, as he took his final breath
It became an emblem of my liberty

I love the cross, I love the cross
For it was there, I found life when I was lost
I don't know where I would be, had there been no Calvary
I thank God for that old tree
I love the cross

At the foot of Golgotha, where grace and mercy flows
There, my every sin was washed away
And oh, the cross no longer, holds the blood of life
I live beneath its shadow still today

I love the cross, I love the cross
For it was there, I found life when I was lost
I don't know where I would be, had there been no Calvary
I thank God for that old tree
I love the cross

Wherever he leads, and whatever he calls
I will cling to that old rugged cross

I love the cross, I love the cross
For it was there, I found life when I was lost
I don't know where I would be, had there been no Calvary
I thank God for that old tree
I love the cross

I don't know where I would be, had there been no Calvary
I thank God for that old tree
I love the cross
I love the cross
I love the cross
