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
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
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
This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
This the power of the cross
Son of God, Christ was slain for us
Oh to see my name written in the wounds
For through Your suffering I am free
And death is crushed to death and life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love
This the power of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
