"That’s what the cross is for / Chasing the darkness away / Breaking the bondage of shame / Raising new life from the grave / That’s what the cross is for / If you’re held down by your yesterdays / And you wonder how Jesus can save / The person who you were before / That’s what the cross is for"

Cade Thompson shares, "I was sitting in an airport listening to someone share their story and the weight of their past. At one point they said, ‘That’s what the cross is for,’ and that phrase just stayed with me. It became the heartbeat of this song—a reminder that because of Jesus, our shame doesn’t get the final word."
