Song Lyrics
[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] This, the pow\xe2\x80\x99r 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. Ev\xe2\x80\x99ry bitter thought, Ev\xe2\x80\x99ry evil deed, Crowning Your bloodstained brow. [Chorus] This, the pow\xe2\x80\x99r 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, \xe2\x80\x9dFinished!\xe2\x80\x9d the vict\xe2\x80\x99ry cry. [Chorus] This, the pow\xe2\x80\x99r 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] This, the pow\xe2\x80\x99r of the cross: Son of God slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross. [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] This, the pow\xe2\x80\x99r of the cross: Christ became sin for us. Took the blame, bore the wrath. We stand forgiven at the cross.
