The Cross Of St Andrew

Bb  C

[Verse]

D                   C
One missed step can make you stumble
D                   C      Bb
You set yourself up for a fall
D                   Eb
You punish yourself for each failure,
D              C   Bb
Dogma beat out alcohol
D                     C
When all of your principles were fashioned
D                          C        Bb
You thought your new rules made you new
D                       Eb        D     C    Bb    A    G
But maybe those X's on your hands are what's killing you

[Chorus]:
F    C        G    Bb  A
The Cross of Saint Andrew
F      C       G        Bb  A
Never meant to take His place
F     C        G    F G A   Bb
The Cross of Saint Andrew
Bb     C       D
Echoes of His grace

D                   C
When Saint Andrew knew the measure
D                   C      Bb
He knew the cost of sacrifice
D                   Eb
He left all that he knew behind him
D                         C   Bb
Great things come at such great price
D                        C
But all of this never brought the answers
D                     C      Bb
Obedience comes with controversy
D                          Eb        D     C    Bb    A    G
What changed him changes me today,  Christ has mercy


[Chorus]:
F    C        G    Bb   A
The Cross of Saint Andrew
F      C       G        Bb  A
Never meant to take His place
F     C        G    F G A   Bb
The Cross of Saint Andrew
Bb     C       D
Echoes of His grace

[Bridge]:
D                 Bb
All your sins can be forgiven
D                 F
All of this was always free
D                 Bb
Jesus loves without condition
C                     D
This is what freedom means to me

D                 Bb
Nihil ergo nunc damnationis
D                   F
Est his qui sunt in Christo Iesu
D              Bb             C
Qui non secundum carnem ambulant
