The Power of the Cross
[Stuart Townend's version)
[Intro]
Em9 G C Em9 G C
[Verse 1]
Am G/B C
Oh, to see the dawn
C Dm C/E
Of the darkest day
F C/E Dm G
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Am G/B C
Tried by sinful men,
C Dm C/E
Torn and beaten, then
F C/E G
Nailed to a cross of wood.
[Chorus 1]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D/F# G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B C F G C
We stand forgiven at the cross.
[Verse 2]
Am G/B C
Oh, to see the pain
C Dm C/E
Written on Your face,
F C/E Dm G
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Am G/B C
Ev'ry bitter thought,
C Dm C/E
Ev'ry evil deed
F C/E Dm G
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
[Chorus 2]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D/F# G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B C F G
We stand forgiven at the cross.
Em9 G C Em9 G C
[Verse 3]
Am G/B C
Now the daylight flees;
C Dm C/E
Now the ground beneath
F C/E Dm G
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Am G/B C
Curtain torn in two,
C Dm C/E
Dead are raised to life;
F C/E G
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
[Chorus 3]
C/E F G C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E F G C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E F D/F# G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B C F G C
We stand forgiven at the cross.

Death is crushed to death;
D Em D/F#
Life is mine to live,
G D/F# A
Won through Your selfless love.
[Chorus]
D/F# G A D
This, the pow'r of the cross:
D/F# G A D
Son of God slain for us.
