The Power of the Cross (Oh To See the Dawn)

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 the 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 blood stained brow This the power of the cross Christ became sin for us, took the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross Now the day light 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 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 my name written in the woods 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, one above, one across We stand forgiven at the cross
