[Intro]
[Verse]
/
Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to cal - va - ry
/
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
[Chorus]
This the powâr of the cross:
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath.
We stand forgiven at the cross.
[Verse]
/
Oh to see the pain written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
/
Evâry bitter thought, evâry evil deed â
Crowning Your blood - stained brow.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
[Verse]
/
Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath
Quakes as its Maker bows his head.
/
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life
âFinished!â the victâ - ry cry.
[Verse]
/
Oh to see my name written in the wound
For through Your sufâfring I am free
/
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your self - less love
[Chorus]
This the powâr of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
