Barren Cross – Two Thousand Years lyrics

Two thousand years ago there came a man
A man who was hated and loved, worshiped and killed
But what was this man all about and what did he do?
What made him different and why did his name live on too?

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
There's no other name by which I’m saved
I've got the power, it's in my sights
Because with him I’m not afraid to die

Now I will disclose his name, it's Jesus Christ
Why did he come just to die and how did he rise?
Why is our system of dating based on one man's death?
And why is the world upside down 'cause of one man's life?

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
There's no other name for which I’m saved
I've got the power, it's in my sights
Because with him I’m not afraid to die

Now I must warn you they'll tell you don't need God
They are the foolish and they are the ones who will burn, burn in hell
But if you accept Him, you'll be born again
Do it now, you will live

Feel the power of God like lead
Feel the metal from inside my head
Feel the steel, take his flight
For when it leaves, Heaven will be in sight

If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord
And if you believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead
Then you will be saved and forgiven, you just have to ask
He'll never leave or forsake you, his promise is fact

For me to live is Christ, to die is gain
There's no other name by which I’m saved
I've got the power, it's in my sides
Because with him I'm not afraid to die
