The Power of the Cross
Intro: Am Am/B C C Dm Em F Em Dm Dm/F G
Am Am/B C
Oh, to see the dawn
C Dm Em
Of the darkest day
F Em Dm Dm/F G
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Am Am/B C
Tried by sinful men,
C Dm Em
Torn and beaten, then
F G F G
Nailed to a cross of wood.
CHORUS:
Em F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Em F G C
Christ became sin for us;
Em F Fdim G
Took the blame, bore the wrath
G/B C F G C
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Am Am/B C
Oh, to see the pain
C Dm Em
Written on Your face,
F Em Dm Dm/F G
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Am Am/B C
Ev'ry bitter thought,
C Dm Em
Ev'ry evil deed
F G F G
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
Am Am/B C
Now the daylight flees;
C Dm Em
Now the ground beneath
F Em Dm Dm/F G
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Am Am/B C
Curtain torn in two,
C Dm Em
Dead are raised to life;
F G F G
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
Am Am/B C
Oh, to see my name
C Dm Em
Written in the wounds,
F Em Dm Dm/F G
For through Your suffering I am free.
Am Am/B C
Death is crushed to death;
C Dm Em
Life is mine to live,
F G F G
Won through Your selfless love.
FINAL CHORUS:
Em F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
Em F G C
Son of God slain for us.
Em F Fdim G
What a love! What a cost!
G/B C F G C
We stand forgiven at the cross.
