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
He 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 all my sin

Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow


This the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
He took the blame and bore the wrath

We stand forgiven at the cross

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
And Christ became sin for us

He took the blame and 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 and life is mine to live

Won through Your selfless love

And this the power of the cross

Son of God, slain for us
What a love, what a cost
We stand forgiven at, we stand forgiven at

We stand forgiven at the cross
