Message of the Cross Martin Smith Copyright 2000 This is a pretty cool song and I’m positive It’s right. This is the way my Youth Group plays it. Verse1: G csus2 G This is the message of the cross that we can be free Csus2 G To live in the victory and turn from our sin Am7 csus2 G My precious Lord Jesus with sinners you died Am7 Csus2 D G For there you revealed your love and laid down your life Chorus: D G You set me free when I came to the cross D G Poured out your love for I was broken and lost D Em7 There I was healed and you covered my sin csus2 D G It’s there You saved me...This is the message of the cross G Csus2 G This is the message of the cross that we can be free Csus2 G To lay down all our burdens here at the foot of the tree Am7 Csus2 G The cross was the shame of the word but the Glory of God Am7 Csus2 D G For Jesus You conquered our sin and You gave us new life. I like to play the chorus in 3-note patterns. Play D on the words ”free when I” and after cross play the G twice more on quarter-note beats. Thats just my personal preference.
