The Power of the Cross

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

Oh, to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the heavy weight of sin
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow

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 it's Maker, bows His head
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life
Finished the victory cry

There in the ground, His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious day
Up from the grave He rose again

And this the power of the cross
Son of God, slain for us
Oh what love! Such love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross
