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 powr 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.
Evry bitter thought, evry 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 suffring I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your self - less love
Chorus 2
This the powr of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
