Intro :
AmAmCCDmEmFEmDmDmGVerse :
AmAmC
Oh, to see the dawn
CDmEm
Of the darkest day
FEmDmDmG
Christ on the road to Calvary.
AmAmC
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;
EmFFG
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
GCFGC
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Verse :
AmAmC
Oh, to see the pain
CDmEm
Written on Your face,
FEmDmDmG
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
AmAmC
Ev'ry bitter thought,
CDmEm
Ev'ry evil deed
FGFG
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
AmAmC
Now the daylight flees;
CDmEm
Now the ground beneath
FEmDmDmG
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
AmAmC
Curtain torn in two,
CDmEm
Dead are raised to life;
FGFG
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
AmAmC
Oh, to see my name
CDmEm
Written in the wounds,
FEmDmDmG
For through Your suffering I am free.
AmAmC
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.
EmFFG
What a love! What a cost!
GCFGC
We stand forgiven at the cross
