Intro

Verse 1

Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day

Christ on the road to cal - va - ry

Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then

Nailed to a cross of wood.

Chorus 1

This the pow’r 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’ry bitter thought, ev’ry evil deed –

Crowning Your blood - stained brow.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

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

‘Finished!’ the vict’ - ry cry.

Verse 4

Oh to see my name written in the wound

For through Your suf‘fring I am free

Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live

Won through Your self - less love

Chorus 2

This the pow’r of the cross

Son of God slain for us

What a life, what a cost

We stand forgiven at the cross
