im a teenager and i became a christian when i was 7 years old. If your not a christian u could pray to God tonight and ask him into ur life. God loves us and wants us to be in heaven with him on that great day. God forgives you even when other peopel don't. GOD IS LOVE
Awesome Song =) Amazing that our Living God Jesus Christ was crucified on the cross as we were forgiven and made renewed by the LOVE OF GOD!! We stand at the cross and we are forgiven! AMAZING SONG!!!! :D
God has paid the costliest price for all our sins on the cross! It is an unconditional love and it is still available for all those seek Him in repentance to have total freedom from all the earthly sins and to have an eternal life with Him!
Another incredible entry point into worship from the anointed Stuart Townend-one of our most important modern hymnists. Thanks, Lord, for the gift of music you give to Your children. Some days this church music director feels uninspired, then along comes an unexpected gift like this. God is good.
This was filmed at my church, Woodmen Valley Chapel in CO Springs, Colorado. I was there that night. I thought the roof was going to come off the church. I will never forget how powerful it was to hear 3000 people singing this, and the band Stuart had with him was world class.
Amen. Thank god for the words Stuart knows, Thank God for the talent in the music, Thank God that we are bringout the word so that more people can be saved. Most of all, Thank God for love and sacrifice
I love this song, especially at Easter. I've sung it as a duet in church, I love singing it. Its a great declaration of God's immense love and grace shown towards us in Jesus.
Josh is giving you good thoughts! For so long, I felt so unworthy of being a Christian. I wanted to wait, to become a "better" person, thinking God deserved more than just me. However, in our fault-filled state, that is just how God wants us to come to Him. Bad things happen in this world and to good people around us. That is only THIS life and not the one that awaits us. God has his reasons for what happens. We may not understand it now... but we will, later, in His kingdom! GB, sister!
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. 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. Every bitter thought, every evil deed crowning your bloodstained brow. This, the power of 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… 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 power of the cross: Son of God - slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.
Dutch, I completely understand your statement about waiting to become the "better person" and it was only recently that a friend helped me to understand God's grace even though i'd been Christian for many years. If you ever get the chance search for Terry Virgo's blog on Grace, he's truly blessed at explaining how law has been fulfilled and our path within Grace.
indeed, not many people follow the commandments anymore, very few follow sabbath, although not essential to be saved as so by grace does, it is still a way to show love to God
Funny that Jesus spent his ministry saying its what's inside that matters not what we look like or choose to wear (bit of a paraphrase I know!). Stuart Townend (along with Keith Getty) has written many inspirational songs that always put Christ and the Cross at the centre. Just listen to the words! The gospel's all here.
I'm trying to learn it and will be singing it Oct 5th at church. Our music minister asked me to do it as a solo, but I'm already leading worship. I avoid solos those services. I'll try to make it a duet or more folks. There's a couple from Indiana coming to lead worship later in Oct. and the music minister wants the congregation to hear it beforehand so they can sing along by the time of the couple's visit. Keep singing! (Is it really like praying twice? ;)
@iamie153 : I know. I am so sorry....I misread your post. I realised as soon as I hit the post button... I thought I had removed it before you saw what a numpty I was ;)
Interesting how people take one section of scripture and make it the be all in end all. When Elijah came into the presence of God, he did just the opposite, he COVERED his head (I Kings 19:13). Even to this day Asiatics often cover their heads as a sign of respect, while Europeans uncover their heads to do the same, show respect. Isn't that the point? I Samuel 16:7 "For man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks at the heart."
@xxSweetSacrificex God new at the cross, (and long before) who would be born today. 'he chose us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and blameless before him.' (Eph 1:4 ESV)
we are dead to the old law in Christ that we might live in hi. The old law is unable to save, for if it could Jesus' death would be for nothing. Romans 7:4 Those who argue about hats, etc should remeber that the law ot how we are meant to live, butthat GRACE has freed us. How many of you were alive (Or even Jewish) to be part of the Old covenant?Paul writes many times about the law, and this...and he should know it best being both from the time, a pharisee and meeting Jesus !!
yea a great song and one we will be teaching the Church but i feel i should coment on on the fact these two guys (who i'm sure are genuine Christians) but WHY are they wearing hats? in Church esp worship! Do they not know the simple plain teaching of the scriptures which says a man shal not cover his head when praying. I realise it'sa non-essential but it's also a very clear unquestionable request by God in His Word , they are worship leaders who should set the example. 1Co 11:4 God Bless
The bible is clear not to wear hats when praying, not a major teaching but still Gods request. and as a Worship leader and the bass player, they should know better and set the example - hats in Church, all in the name of fashion it seems 1Co 11:4 Every man praying or prophesying with his head covered dishonors his Head. 1Co 11:7 For a man indeed ought not to have his head covered, because he is the image and glory of God. But the woman is the glory of the man.
you know what, its really frustrating when i see people like you who try to enforce the smallest minorical detail of the bible's instruction as if its life or death, i think that there are certain teachings that must be followed (eg. faith in christ, 10 commandments) however there would cetainly by some amount of leniency when it comes to something as trivial as hats...i think the hat thing is more out of respect, jsut my thoughts on it

I love every word in this cross because it is all about my Savior Jesus Christ. Praise His holy name!

The cross covers even our silly fashion choices! Really - Thanks be to God - this song makes me cry everytime I sing/hear it!!
I love this song. so awesome singing it in an auditorium (sp?) full of, like, I think, 3000 people.
touching- we need more singers like this to spread the word of our Lord
God Bless

We met Stewart in England.
Couple of months ago this was hymn of the month at my church.... I LOVE IT!!! :D
Amen. Thank god for the words Stuart knows,
Thank God for the talent in the music,
Thank God that we are bringout the word so that more people can be saved.
Most of all, Thank God for love and sacrifice
Glory to Jesus!Wow, He died for me!
I loved the song so much i taught my self to play it on my guitar.thanks very much:)
I love this song, especially at Easter.
I've sung it as a duet in church, I love singing it.
Its a great declaration of God's immense love and grace shown towards us in Jesus.

I love this video. It is relaxing.
A BIG POWERFUL AND MIGHTY AMEN. PTL...
HOSANNAH MASTER CHRIST JESUS. ONLY GOD IS AWESOME
I saw Kristyn Getty at spring harvest 07 she was great.
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.
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.
Every bitter thought,
every evil deed
crowning your bloodstained brow.
This, the power of 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…
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 power of the cross:
Son of God - slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Thank you for lyrics.
heart melting...sir.
Fav one......bro
Great song!
ALABANZA A DIOS , EL CREADOR DEL CIELO Y LA TIERRA!!!! LO MEJOR DEL MUNDO ES ALABAR AL PADRE , AL HIJO , Y AL ESPIRITU SANTO DE DIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kristyn and Keith Getty came to Baylor university for chapel.. It was great : )
Dutch, I completely understand your statement about waiting to become the "better person" and it was only recently that a friend helped me to understand God's grace even though i'd been Christian for many years. If you ever get the chance search for Terry Virgo's blog on Grace, he's truly blessed at explaining how law has been fulfilled and our path within Grace.
God be praised. Amen.
Great victorious version. I also like a more mellow Bb treatment of the song.
indeed, not many people follow the commandments anymore, very few follow sabbath, although not essential to be saved as so by grace does, it is still a way to show love to God
That's great

ESTO ES TU SALVACION!!!!
Hi Steve - my point was that there is no 's' in Townend :-)
@iamie153 : I know. I am so sorry....I misread your post. I realised as soon as I hit the post button... I thought I had removed it before you saw what a numpty I was ;)
Awesome arrangement but will you please change Stuart Townend's name in the title. Stuart Townsend is not really know for his worship of God. :-)
Interesting how people take one section of scripture and make it the be all in end all. When Elijah came into the presence of God, he did just the opposite, he COVERED his head (I Kings 19:13).

@iamie153 had to look both up, to 'get' this. yes, PLEASE correct the spelling Emmafountaine!! *lol* iamie is QUITE correct!! :D
