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