Oh to See the Dawn (The Power of the Cross) Lyrics

us
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
s
Nailed to a cross of wood.
This the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us,
Took the blame, bore the wrath.
ss
We stand forgiven at the cross.
us
Oh to see the pain written on Your face,
us
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev'ry bitter thought, ev'ry evil deed ?
s
Crowning Your blood - stained brow.
(REPEAT CHORUS)
Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath
ss
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
m7 ss
For through Your suf'fring I am free
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live
Won through Your self - less love
This the pow'r of the cross
Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost
ss
We stand forgiven at the cross
