This week, you’ll start hearing a new song, “The Cross” by Anne Wilson
Story Behind the Song
“I wrote the song ‘The Cross’ on my new album as a reminder of what Jesus did for us — that He gave up His life so that we can have life in and through Him,” she continued. “And I want to remind all of you that no matter what you have done, no matter how far you have run from God, that it is never too late to come back to Him. He loves you so much, and He gave up everything to give you everything” – Anne Wilson

Lyrics to “The Cross”
Lyrics
ou’ve been tryin’ hard to bear the weight of all your shame
And if there’s a God up there, you’re sure He forgot your name
When your steps are getting heavy, and hope looks all but lost
Just bring it all to the cross
Who told you grace can’t reach the messed up ones like you?
Has the devil made you believe the lies he tells are true?
When you’re sure that you’re the one who’s wandered too far off
It’s not too late
Just come home to the cross
Come and see a Savior’s love that would die to make you new
Nothing you have ever done, can change what mercy’s done for you
And if you ever wonder if you’re worth so great a cost
Look up and see the cross
Everybody’s got a list at least a mile long
Of every scar and every sin from everywhere that we’ve gone wrong
But there’s reason for rejoicin’, and the reason is because
That list was nailed to the cross
Come and see a Savior’s love that would die to make you new
Nothing you have ever done, can change what mercy’s done for you (what mercy’s done)
And if you ever wonder if you’re worth so great a cost
Look up and see the cross
Oh, the cross
He was wounded for your wounds, pierced for all your sin
By His stripes you are healed, died so you could rise again
He let the blood and water flow, and did it all to let you know
You’re the reason that He went to the cross
Oh, He’s callin’ you to run home to the cross
To the cross
Come and see a Savior’s love that would die to make you new (oh, He’s made us new)
Nothing you have ever done, can change what mercy’s done for you (what mercy’s done)
And if you ever wonder if you’re worth so great a cost
Look up and see the cross (oh, look up and see)
Look up and see the cross (he died for you and me)
Look up and see the cross
