Verse 1
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
Chorus 1
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Verse 2
Oh to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your blood stained brow
Repeat Chorus
Verse 3
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
Verse 4
Oh to see my name written in the wound
For through Your suffering I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love
Chorus 2
This the power of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
