The Power Of The Cross Lyrics - Singles - Bethany Dillon & Matt Hammitt

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 death is crushed to death 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
