THE POWER OF THE CROSS-Lyrics

The Power of the Cross”
Words and Music by Keith Getty and Stuart Townend. Arranged by David Hamilton. ©2005
Oh, to see the dawn of the darkest day; Christ on a road to Calvary;
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten, then Nailed to the cross of wood.
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face, Bearing the awesome weight of sin; Every bitter tho’t, every evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
This the power of the cross;
Christ became sin for us; took the blame, bore the wrath; We stand forgiven at the cross!
Now the day light 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!
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 my name written in the wounds, For thro’ Your suff’ring I am free.
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live, Won thro’ 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!
What a love, what a cost! What a love, what a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross!

Wow such powerful truth in song. Christ, God's gift to us, died on the Cross for our sins. Oh the Love our Father has for us in this act. Lord may I live a life of obedience and love for Your Word and commands, to the Love The Lord my God with all my heart and to Love my neighbor as myself.

There are no words to say "Thank You" to Jesus for what He's done for us that unspeakable Day! Only way is to give Him all our hearts, minds and souls, our lives altogether. For eternity I will be grateful!
