Verse 1
D5  E5    A5                E5    A5
Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day 
D5                 A5    B5   D5   E5    E5
Christ on the road to cal  -  va  -  ry 
D5     E5   A5                   E5    A5
Tried by sinful men, torn and beaten then 
D5                A5  D5  E5    E5
Nailed to a cross   of    wood. 

Chorus 1
A5     D5        E5  A5
This the pow?r of the cross: 
A5     D5      E5   A5
Christ became sin for us, 
A5        D5      B5     E5
Took the blame, bore the wrath. 
E5  A5     D5     E5  E5     D5    E5    A5
We  stand forgiven at          the cross. 

D5    B5    E5    E5

Oh to see the pain written on Your face, 
D5                 A5      B5  D5  E5    E5
Bearing the awesome weight of       sin. 
D5   E5    A5                E5   A5
Ev?ry   bitter thought, ev?ry evil    deed ? 
D5                      A5    D5 E5     E5
Crowning Your blood - stained brow.

(REPEAT CHORUS)

Verse 3
D5      E5     A5                   E5        A5
Now the daylight flees; now the ground beneath 
D5                    A5  B5  D5   E5    E5
Quakes as its Maker bows his        head. 
D5   E5    A5                   E5   A5
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life
D5                  A5    D5 E5     E5
?Finished!? the vict?  -  ry       cry.

Verse 4
D5  E5     A5                E5   A5
Oh to see my name written in the wound 
D5                          A5  B5  D5   E5    E5
For through Your suf?fring I      am       free 
D5      E5        A5               E5   A5
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live 
D5                           A5 D5 E5     E5
Won through Your self  -  less     love 

Chorus 2
A5     D5        E5  A5
This the pow?r of the cross 
A5     D5   E5   A5
Son of God slain for us 
A5    D5    B5     E5
What a life, what a cost 
E5  A5     D5    E5  E5     D5    E5    A5
We stand forgiven at       the cross
