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 power of the cross   Christ became sin for us   He 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 all my sin   Every bitter thought, every evil deed   Crowning Your bloodstained brow      This the power of the cross   Christ became sin for us   He took the blame and bore the wrath   We stand forgiven at the cross      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 victory cry      This the power of the cross   And Christ became sin for us   He took the blame and 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 and life is mine to live   Won through Your selfless love      And this the power of the cross   Son of God, slain for us   What a love, what a cost   We stand forgiven at, we stand forgiven at   We stand forgiven at the cross
