Intro :
AmAm/BCCDmEmFEmDmDm/FGVerse :
AmAm/BC
Oh, to see the dawn
CDmEm
Of the darkest day
FEmDmDm/FG
Christ on the road to Calvary.
AmAm/BC
Tried by sinful men,
CDmEm
Torn and beaten, then
FGFG
Nailed to a cross of wood.
Chorus :
EmFGC
This, the pow'r of the cross:
EmFGC
Christ became sin for us;
EmFFdimG
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/BCFGC
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Verse :
AmAm/BC
Oh, to see the pain
CDmEm
Written on Your face,
FEmDmDm/FG
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
AmAm/BC
Ev'ry bitter thought,
CDmEm
Ev'ry evil deed
FGFG
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
AmAm/BC
Now the daylight flees;
CDmEm
Now the ground beneath
FEmDmDm/FG
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
AmAm/BC
Curtain torn in two,
CDmEm
Dead are raised to life;
FGFG
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
AmAm/BC
Oh, to see my name
CDmEm
Written in the wounds,
FEmDmDm/FG
For through Your suffering I am free.
AmAm/BC
Death is crushed to death;
CDmEm
Life is mine to live,
FGFG
Won through Your selfless love.
Final Chorus :
EmFGC
This, the pow'r of the cross:
EmFGC
Son of God—slain for us.
EmFFdimG
What a love! What a cost!
G/BCFGC
We stand forgiven at the cross
