The Power Of The Cross

Verse 1
Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day;
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then
nailed to a cross of wood.

Chorus
This the pow'r of the cross: Christ became sin for us.
Took the blame, bore the wrath; We stand forgiven at the cross.

Verse 2
Oh, to see the pain written on your face,
bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
crowning your blood-stained brow.

Chorus

Verse 3
Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two,
Dead are raised to life, Finished the victory cry.

Chorus

Verse 4
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love!

Chorus 2
This this pow'r, of the cross: Son of God slain for us.
What a love, what a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross
