And 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 woodThis the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the crossAnd oh to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
And every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained browThis the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the crossAnd oh to see my name written in the wounds
For through Your suffering I am free
And death is crushed to death and life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless loveThis the power of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
We stand forgiven at the crossThis the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
He look the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
