The Power of the Cross

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.

Chorus:
This, the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us
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 sin.
Every bitter thought,
Every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.

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.

Oh, to see my name
Written in the wounds,
For through Your suffering I am free.
Death is crushed to death
Life is mine to live,
Won through Your selfless love.

This, the power of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us
What a love! What a cost!

We stand forgiven at the cross.

Thinking tonight about the great sacrifice that Christ made for me. Seriously I can't remember it enough!! Love like that is impossible!! Forgivness like that is impossible outside of God! It blows my mind... It really does.

So great a sacrifice. So great a gift. Such great mercy has been poured out on us.

Just thought I would pass this song on. What a great day to know and to serve the Lord! Hope that you are blessed today with the joy and refreshment that comes from the presence of the Lord. God bless y'all.
