Lyrics:
The past that held regret over my head is gone
These chains are ashes now that once were rusted on
I was a runaway now I am finally home

My mind was a ghost town haunted by yesterday
Until your hand reached down pulled me out of my grave
Into the freedom found only in Jesus’ name

I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross

The Father gave His Son so I could be set free
And now the scales are gone my eyes can finally see
I’ll tell the world of all Jesus has done for me

I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow
Welcome my joy
Now I am living
In the power of the cross

And on that cross, His love held true
Through sacrifice, the old made new
This life I live, I live in faith
Now in Jesus name

I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow
Welcome my joy
Now I am living
In the power of the cross

Thank you, Oh God I thank you
Jesus I thank you, thank you for the cross
Praise you, Oh God I praise You
Jesus I praise You, praise You for the cross

I was a widower and a minister.when she passed suddenly .my life changed and I lived in a wilderness of fog and turmoil .almost lost my mind.but He gave me 3 promises.and day by day HE was faithful and my supply.and he is putting the pieces of my life back together. One piece at a time .praise him and trust Him..look at Him not all that is around you .He won't fail you .and 9 months ago I met a beautiful woman named Angie. My age and now she is my wife and I am not alone anymore neither is she ...To God be the Glory

I was in business for 22 years, I lost, my wife, my kids my house my business . The lord gives and he takes away. Bless be the name of the lord.

In this day and age when most gospel or contemporary Christian music can pass off as random, meaningless chanting or repetition, Casting Crowns with their doctrinally meaningful and relevant songwriting stand out so beautifully well. Kudos to the entire team!

[cynthiafaithblaylock]

My sister just came out of a coma she's at home I asked for prayers for speedy recovery from all of you who are believers and I pray this song over her

[upliftinggod-ehur]

Just to know that I've been forgiven, a filthy rag sinner like me, thank you Jesus!!!

[patriciaspires]

Here we are on earth, hearing about God, love, grace and mercy, and the sacrifice that he said his son to die on the cross for our sins it brings us to our knees! I cannot even begin to imagine the glory of God in Jesus Christ and the song that the Angels sing about him! I am all struck by this

[godlywisdomministries]

Jesus is with you and in you..He says I am with you always even to the end of the age! Christ in you the hope of glory ..it is by him that you will grow into a perfect holy temple ..his spirit the comforter and peace is with you ..He is the way the truth and life ..behold I come in the clouds with power and great glory..You are the clouds..It's in due time that he will lift you up ...The same spirit that raised up Christ will raise you up on the last day ..Enoch was translated takin up..caught up and is with God ..he never died .. Same with all who are in Christ ..you will all be caught up together ..by his spirit that is within you you..your mortal body will be changed quickened by the spirit of god ...Like lightening from the east to the west .furthermore you cannot put new wine into old vessels ..

[ThemantleofElijah]

The only power to set men free is Jesus Christ and him crucified

[MrShogun]

[benjaminakahi]

Am certainly not the only one that feels Casting Crown's song are biblical and also story based and when you listen, you can discern where the lyrics comes from and the scriptural references. God bless you my special band always!

[estefanygomez]

Hallelujah!! 🙌thank you Jesus for the cross!!✝️🛐❤

[advorlando]

It amazes me how casting crowns can continue to make such awesome music. With such simple chord patterns to boot. I doubt rivalries and competition exists between Contemporary Christian groups, but Casting Crowns is truly standing out. I love learning and sharing their music with others, and I thank God for their music ministry. Let the spirit keep whispering in their ears. 👍 And Thank You Jesus...for the cross.
