Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day
Christ on the road to cal - va - ry
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This the powr 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.
Evry bitter thought, evry evil deed
Crowning Your blood - stained brow.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
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.
Oh to see my name written in the wound
For through Your suffring I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your self - less love
This the powr of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the cross
