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: This the pow'r of the cross Christ became sin for us Took the blame bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross 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 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 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 CHORUS 2: This the pow'r of the cross Son of God slain for us What a love what a cost We stand forgiven at the cross
