The Power of the Cross - Leigh Nash

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

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

Ev’ry bitter thought, ev’ry evil deed

Crowning Your bloodstained brow

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 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
