The power of the cross

<p>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/>This, the pow&#x27;r of the cross<br/>Christ became sin for us<br/>Took the blame, bore the wrath<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross<br/>Oh, to see the pain written on Your face<br/>Bearing the awesome weight of sin<br/>Ev&#x27;ry bitter thought, ev&#x27;ry evil deed<br/>Crowning Your bloodstained brow<br/>Now the daylight flees<br/>Now the ground beneath<br/>Quakes as its Maker bows His head<br/>Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life<br/>&quot;Finished&quot; the vict&#x27;ry cry<br/>Oh, to see my name written in the wounds<br/>For through Your suffering I am free<br/>Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live<br/>Won through Your selfless love<br/>This, the pow&#x27;r of the cross<br/>Son of God, slain for us<br/>What a love, what a cost<br/>We stand forgiven at the cross
