Five Iron Frenzy - The Cross Of St. Andrew lyrics

One missed step can make you stumble

you set yourself up for a fall

you punish yourself for each failure,

dogma beat out alcohol

when all of your principles were fashioned

you thought your new rules made you new

but maybe those X's on your hands are whats killing you

Chorus:

The Cross of Saint Andrew

never meant to take His place

The Cross of Saint Andrew

echoes of His grace

When Saint Andrew knew the measure

he knew the cost of sacrifice

he left all that he knew behind him

great things come at such great price

But all of this never brought the answers

obedience comes with controversy

what changed him changes me today

Christ has mercy

Chorus:

The Cross of Saint Andrew

never meant to take His place

The Cross of Saint Andrew

echoes of His grace

All your sins can be forgiven

all of this was always free

Jesus loves without condition

this is what freedom means to me

Nihil ergo nunc damnationis

est his qui sunt in Christo Iesu

qui non secundum carnem ambulant

(There is therefore now no condemnation

to them which are in Christ Jesus,

who walk not after the flesh,

but after the Spirit)

-Romans 8:1,2
