It's Still the Cross

It's not conservative or liberal,

However they're defined;

It's not about interpretation,

Or the judgment of the mind;



It's the opposite of politics,

Power or prestige;

It's about a simple message,

And whether we believe.



Chorus:

It's still the cross,

It's still the blood of Calvary;

That cleanses sins,

And sets the captives free.

It's still the name,

The name of Jesus,

That has power to save the lost;

It's still the cross.



We can water down theology,

And preach a word to suit our needs;

We can justify sweet subtle lies,

That are wrapped in noble deeds;



We can alter our convictions,

To adapt to social whims;

But we cannot change the gospel,

Or the truth contained within.



Chorus



Though some may say it's man's religion,

Or ancient history;

The cross of Jesus still remains,

The price for sin that sets us free.
