[Verse 1]
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.

[Verse 2]
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.

[Chorus]
This, the pow'r of the cross.
Christ became sin for us.
Took the blame, bore the wrath.
We stand forgiven at the cross.

[Verse 3]
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.

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
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.

[Final Chorus]

This, the pow'r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
What a love! What a cost!
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
At the cross.....!
