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 pow'r of the cross
Oh to see the pain
Written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
Ev'ry bitter thought
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow
This the pow'r of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame 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 vict'ry cry
This the pow'r 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 pow'r of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a love What a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
When I survey the wondrous Cross
On which the Prince of Glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Forbit it Lord that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my
God
All the vain things that charm
me most
I sacrifice them to His blood
Were the whold relm of nature mine
That were an offering far too
small
Love so amazing so divine
Demands my soul my life my all
