New this week on KJIL, is the powerful "But The Cross," from Ben Fuller! Check out the lyrics and music video here!
Lyrics
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 says they're wrong Don't believe the words they say Let the truth wash them away 'Cause His blood says you're loved Evеry lie is bound to leave Whеn 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 says they're wrong Don't believe the words they say Let the truth wash them away 'Cause His blood 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 But I know I'm forgiven Fear tells me it's over But this is the beginning Oh, they can say whatever they want 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)
