Lyrics But the Cross (feat. Tasha Layton) - Tasha Layton , Ben Fuller

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
Every lie is bound to leave
When 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
Oh 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 tell me I'm broken (but I'm not broken)
But I know I'm forgiven (I'm forgiven)
Fear tells me it's over (oh it's not over)
But this is the beginning (it's just the beginning)
Oh-o-o-o-oh they can say whatever they want
Oh-o-o-o-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

(I know I'm forgiven)
But the cross
(This is the beginning, oh the cross)
But the cross
