Intro: A5 A5 C5 C5 D5 E5  F5  E5 D5 D5 G5

A5   A5    C5
Oh, to see the dawn
C5        D5       E5
Of the darkest day
F5                  E5       D5 D5 G5
Christ on the road to Calvary.
A5   A5    C5
Tried by sinful men,
C5           D5       E5
Torn and beaten, then
F5             G5       F5  G5
Nailed to a cross of wood.

CHORUS:
E5         F5       G5     C5  
This, the pow'r of the cross:
E5         F5      G5       C5
Christ became sin for us;
E5         F5           F5       G5
Took the blame, bore the wrath?
G5  C5          F5     G5       C5   
We stand forgiven at the cross.

A5  A5    C5
Oh, to see the pain
C5        D5       E5
Written on Your face,
F5                 E5       D5 D5 G5
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
A5   A5    C5
Ev'ry bitter thought,
C5     D5  E5
Ev'ry evil deed
F5                     G5      F5         G5
Crowning Your bloodstained brow. 


A5         A5     C5
Now the daylight flees;
C5           D5          E5
Now the ground beneath
F5                  E5      D5  D5 G5
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
A5       A5    C5
Curtain torn in two,
C5           D5       E5
Dead are raised to life;
 F5                    G5   F5  G5
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry. 

A5   A5    C5
Oh, to see my name
C5          D5       E5
Written in the wounds,
F5                  E5          D5   D5  G5
For through Your suffering I am free.
A5       A5    C5
Death is crushed to death;
C5           D5       E5
Life is mine to live,
F5                             G5   F5     G5
Won through Your selfless love.

FINAL CHORUS:
E5           F5        G5       C5  
This, the pow'r of the cross:
E5         F5      G5       C5
Son of God?slain for us.
E5         F5           F5       G5
What a love! What a cost! 
G5  C5           F5        G5        C5   
We stand forgiven at the cross.
