Verse 1

To some its just an emblem, a formality;

  It's a symbol that's been used so frequentCly

  Many blaspheme and deGspise.

  Though its aCncient it abFides.

  A shrine to death that stands for life to Gme.

F C

Chorus

There was a cross made for the Son of God at Calvary.

Two pieces of rough timber on a hill.

  Through His Fhands and through His Gfeet,

  He took the Cnails for you and Fme.

  Angels watched as He died for the Glost.

  Though He cCould have walked away He cGhose the cCross.

Verse 2

You see why this old emblem is so dear to me.

  It stood for suffering, yet it brought us pCeace.

  It bridged the gap for Gman, offered cCleansing for our Fsins;

  An icon that reminds us that we're Gfree.(Chorus)

God forbid that I should ever let my memory fade

But forever keep the cross in view

  For that's where I was sGaved, I was sAaved
