Spoken
And surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows
Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted
But He was pierced for our transgressions
He was crushed for our iniquities
Upon Him was the chastisement that brought us peace
And with His wounds we are healed
Verse 1
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
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
Chorus
This, the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Verse 2
And 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
Chorus
This, the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Verse 3
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
Chorus
This, the power of the cross
Son of God, slain for us
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross
Verse 4
When I survey the wondrous cross
On which the Prince of glory died
My richest gain I count but loss
And pour contempt on all my pride
Verse 5
Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast
Save in the death of Christ my God
All the vain things that charm me most
I sacrifice them to His blood
Verse 6
Were the whole realm of nature mine
That were a offering far too small
Love so amazing, so divine
Demands my soul, my life, my all
Outro/Spoken
And all glory to Him who loved us and freed us
By shedding His blood for us
