THE POWER OF THE CROSS
O to see the dawn, of the darkest day;
Christ on the road to Calvary;
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then
nailed to a cross of wood.
O to see the pain written of Your face,
bearing the awesome weight of sin
Every better thought, every evil deed
crowning Your blood stained brow.
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 victory cry.
O to see my name written in the wounds,
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....Christ became sin for us.
Took the blame, bore the wrath.
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Keith Getty & Stuart Townend
