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
