The power of the cross

<p>And oh to see the dawn of the darkest day<br/>Christ on the road to Calvary<br/>Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten<br/>Then nailed to a cross of wood<br/><br/>This the power of the cross<br/>Christ became sin for us<br/>Took the blame, bore the wrath<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross<br/><br/>And oh to see the pain written on Your face<br/>Bearing the awesome weight of sin<br/>And every bitter thought, every evil deed<br/>Crowning Your bloodstained brow<br/><br/>This the power of the cross<br/>Christ became sin for us<br/>Took the blame, bore the wrath<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross<br/>And oh to see my name written in the wounds<br/>For through Your suffering I am free<br/>And death is crushed to death and life is mine to live<br/>Won through Your selfless love<br/><br/>This the power of the cross<br/>Son of God slain for us<br/>What a life, what a cost<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross<br/><br/>This the power of the cross<br/>Christ became sin for us<br/>He look the blame, bore the wrath<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross
