                  Dm                 G              C
          It's a symbol that's been used so frequently

          Many blaspheme and despise.

          Though its ancient it abides.
             Dm                    F                G

                       F                     G
          Through His hands and through His feet,
                       C                F
          He took the nails for you and me.

              Dm                  G                   C
          It stood for suffering, yet it brought us peace.
               F                  G             C                F
          It bridged the gap for man, offered cleansing for our sins;
              Dm          F                   G
          An icon that reminds us that we're free.(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:   God forbid that I should ever let my memory fade
              Dm                C
          But forever keep the cross in view
              F                    G                A
          For that's where I was saved,     I was saved
