::The Power of the Cross::

We sang this song on Sunday and it has quickly won its way to the very top of my favorites list. I hope it blesses you...


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 a 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 bloodstained 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!

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 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:
Son of God - slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
