The Power of the Cross
V1
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
CH
This, the power of the cross, Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath, we stand forgiven at the cross!
V2
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
V3
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
V4
Oh, to see my name, written in the wounds
For through Your suff’ring I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love
