It's About the Cross | The Ball Brothers | Lyrics

What a beautiful song with wonderful lyrics depicting why Jesus came to save all who would come to Him. He said to pick up our own personal crosses and follow Him in many places in Scriptures.

LYRICS:
It's not just about the manger
Where the baby lay
It's not all about the angels
Who sang for him that day
It's not all about the shepherds
Or the bright and shining star
It's not all about the wise-men
Who traveled from afar

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross

It's not just about the good things
In this life I’ve done
It's not all about the treasures
Or the trophies that I’ve won
It’s not about the righteousness
That I find within
It’s all about His precious blood
That saved me from my sin

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
It's about the cross

The beginning of the story
Is wonderful and great
But it's the ending that can save you
And that's why we celebrate

It's about the cross
It's about my sin
It's about how Jesus came to be born once
So that we could be born again
It's about God's Son
Nailed to a tree
It's about every drop of blood that flowed from Him
When it should have been me

It's about the stone
That was rolled away
So that you and I could have real life someday
So that you and I could have real life someday

It's about the cross
It's about the cross
It's about the cross

And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. (Luke 9:23)
