The Power of the Cross
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.
This the power of the cross,
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath,
We stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin,
Every bitter thought, every evil deed,
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
This the power of the cross,
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath,
We stand forgiven at the cross
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.
This the power of the cross,
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath,
We stand forgiven at the cross
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.
This the power of the cross,
Son of God slain for us.
What a love what a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
