The Power Of The Cross

D       D       D
Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day,
G       D       G D A
Christ on the road to Calvary.
D       D       D
Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then,
G       D       A
Nailed to a cross of wood.

 A  G    A  D
This, the power of the cross:
D       G     A D
Christ became sin for us.
D       G       G       A
Took the blame, bore the wrath,
A      D        G       A       D
We stand forgiven at the cross.

D       D       D
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face,
G       D       G                D A
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
D       D       D
Every bitter thought, every evil deed,
G       D       A
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

{Chorus}

D       D       D
Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath,
G       D       G           D    A
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
D       D       D
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life;
G       D       A
"Finished!" the victory cry.

{Chorus}

D       D       D
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds,
G       D       G           D      A
For through Your suffering I am free.
D       D       D
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live,
G       D       A
Won through Your selfless love.

A       G    A  D
This, the power of the cross:
D       G     A D
Son of God - slain for us.
D       G       G       A
What a love! What a cost!
A      D        G       A       D
We stand forgiven at the cross.
