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 This, the power 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 Every bitter thought Every 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 victory cry Oh, the power of the cross Christ became sin for us Took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven We stand forgiven We stand forgiven We stand We stand forgiven We stand forgiven We stand forgiven We stand We stand (forgiven) We stand (forgiven) We stand (forgiven) We stand (forgiven in the power) We stand (forgiven) We stand (in the power of the cross) We stand (forgiven) We stand 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 This, the power of the cross Son of God slain for us What a love, what a cost We stand forgiven at the cross
