The Power of the Cross by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend

Oh to see the dawn 
Of the darkest day
Christ on the road to Calvary
Tried by sinful men
Torn and beaten, then
Nailed on 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 blood stained brown

This the power 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 it's 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!
