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
