It's not conservative or liberal
However their defined
It's not about interpretation
Or the judgments of the mind
It's the opposite of politics
Power or prestige
It's about a simple message
And whether we believe

It's still the cross
It's still the blood of Calvary
That cleanses sin
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

Well, 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
And the truth contained within
It's still the cross
It's still the blood of Calvary
That cleanses sin
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

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

It's still the cross
It's still the blood of Calvary
That cleanses sin
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
The blood of Calvary
That cleanses sin
And sets the captives free
It's still the name
The name of Jesus
With power to save the lost
It's still the cross
It's still the cross
