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 bloodstained brow
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 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
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 4
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
Chorus 2
This the power of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a love what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
