Tom: C
F/A G C
Oh, to see the dawn
C G7 C/E
Of the darkest day:
F C/E Dm G
Christ on the road to Calvary
F/A G C
Tried by sinful men
C G7 C
Torn and beaten, then
F C/E G
Nailed to a cross of wood
[Chorus 1]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D G
Took the blame, bore the wrath
C F G C
We stand for - given at the cross
[Verse 2]
F/A G C
Oh, to see the pain
C G7 C/E
Written on Your face
F C/E Dm G
Bearing the awesome weight of sin
F/A G C
Ev'ry bitter thought
C G7 C
Ev'ry evil deed
F C/E G
Crowning Your bloodstained brow
[Chorus 1]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D G
Took the blame, bore the wrath
C F G C
We stand for - given at the cross
[Verse 3]
F/A G C
Now the daylight flees;
C G7 C/E
Now the ground beneath
F C/E Dm G
Quakes as its Maker bows His head
F/A G C
Curtain torn in two
C G7 C
Dead are raised to life;
F C/E G
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry
[Chorus 1]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D G
Took the blame, bore the wrath
C F G C
We stand for - given at the cross
[Verse 4]
F/A G C
Oh, to see my name
C G7 C/E
Written in the wounds
F C/E Dm G
For through Your suffering I am free
F/A G C
Death is crushed to death;
C G7 C
Life is mine to live
F C/E F G
Won through Your self - less love
[Chorus 2]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Son of God - slain for us
C/E F D G
What a love! What a cost!
C F G C
We stand for - given at the cross
