Verse 1:

F       G          C             G         C
O
to  see  the  dawn  of  the  darkest   day:
F               C         Dm     F   G
Christ  on  the  road  to  Cal-   va- ry.
F        G           C              G         C
Tried by sinful     men, torn  and  beaten
then
  F              C     F       G
Nailed  to   a   cross of      wood.


Chorus 1:

C         F    G        C
This the pow'r of the cross:
C          F   G       C
Christ be-came sin for us,
C         F     D         G
Took the blame, bore the wrath; We
C          F     G            C
stand for-giv-en at     the cross.

Verse 2:

F       G          C             G         C
O
to  see  the  pain writ-ten  on Your   face,
F               C         Dm     F   G
Bear-ing   the   awe-some  weight of  sin.
F        G           C              G         C
Ev-'ry   bitter     thought, ev-'ry e-vil     deed
F              C     F       G
Crown-ing  Your  blood-stained brow.

This the pow'r of the cross:
C          F   G       C
Christ be-came sin for us,
C         F     D         G
Took the blame, bore the wrath; We
C          F     G            C
stand for-giv-en at     the cross.

Verse 3:

F       G          C             G         C
Now the day light flees; now the ground be-neath
F               C         Dm     C   G
Quakes  as  its  Ma-ker    bows   His head;
F        G           C              G          C
Cur-tain torn  in   two; dead  are  raised to life;
F               C  F          G
"Fin-ished!" the vic-t'ry      cry.

Chorus 3:

C         F    G        C
This the pow'r of the cross:
C          F   G       C
Christ be-came sin for us,
C         F     D         G
Took the blame, bore the wrath; We
C         F      G            F
stand for-giv-en at     the cross.

to  see   my  name writ-ten  in  your   wounds,

what  a  cost!  We
D         G      Asus A      D
stand for-giv-en at     the cross
