Intro: C

Verse:
    C
Do you have a list of regrets
        G
That’s longer than it’s ever been
            Am
And you’re starting to shake
                     F
Under the weight of all your sin

Pre-chorus:
      C
Does your heart feel stuck in the past?
       G
Spend all of your life looking back
     Am
The lies feel like truth

And you wonder if you
     F
Can start again

Chorus:
                                 C
'Cause that’s what the cross is for
                       G
Chasing the darkness away
                         Am
Breaking the bondage of shame
                           F
Raising new life from the grave

                          C
That’s what the cross is for
                                   G
If you’re held down by your yesterdays
                              Am
And you wonder how Jesus can save
                           F
The person who you were before-ore

                          C   C
That’s what the cross is for

Verse:
 C
Both of the nails in His hands
     G
Are proof of a savior who can
 Am
Turn any story

From ashes to glory
   F
Again and again and again

Chorus:
                          C
That’s what the cross is for
                       G
Chasing the darkness away
                         Am
Breaking the bondage of shame
                           F
Raising new life from the grave

                          C
That’s what the cross is for
                                   G
If you’re held down by your yesterdays
                              Am
And you wonder how Jesus can save
                           F
The person who you were before-ore

                          C
That’s what the cross is for

Post-chorus:
                 C
We give You the glory

You deserve the honor
 G
You have all the power
                         Am
That’s what the cross is for

                 Am
We give You the glory

You deserve the honor
 F
You have all the power
                          F
That’s what the cross is for

Bridge:
         C
For everyone
            G
For all of time
              Am             F
The precious blood Of Jesus Christ

            C
He paid it all
             G
What a sacrifice
              Am             F
The precious blood Of Jesus Christ
             G
Bringing us new life

Chorus:
                          C
That’s what the cross is for
                       G
Chasing the darkness away
                         Am
Breaking the bondage of shame
                           F
Raising new life from the grave

                              C
For that’s what the cross is for
                                   G
If you’re held down by your yesterdays (your yesterdays)
                         Am
And you wonder how Jesus can save
                           F
The person who you were before-ore (You were before)

[Outro}
                          C
That’s what the cross is for (We give you the glory) (You deserve the honor)
                          G
That’s what the cross is for (You have all the power)

                         Am
That’s what the cross is for (We give you the glory) (You deserve the honor)
                     F
I'm not who I was before (You have all the power)
