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
