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 pow’r 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 |
| Ev’ry bitter thought, ev’ry evil deed |
| Crowning Your bloodstained brow |
| 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 vict’ry cry |
| 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 pow’r of the cross |
| Son of God, slain for us |
| What a love, what a cost |
| We stand forgiven at the cross |
