Bethany Dillon - The Power Of The Cross lyrics

And 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 And oh to see the pain written on Your face Bearing the awesome weight of sin And every bitter thought, 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 And oh to see my name written in the wounds For through Your suffering I am free And d**h is crushed to d**h and life is mine to live Won through Your selfless love This the power of the cross Son of God slain for us What a life, what a cost We stand forgiven at the cross This the power of the cross Christ became sin for us He look the blame, bore the wrath We stand forgiven at the cross
