Heather Headley - The Power Of The Cross lyrics

rate me

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 it's 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
