D       D       D 
Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day, 
G       D       G D A 
Christ on the road to Calvary. 
D       D       D 
Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then, 
G       D       A 
Nailed to a cross of wood. 
 
Refrão -------------
 A  G    A  D 
This, the power of the cross: 
D       G     A D 
Christ became sin for us. 
D       G       G       A 
Took the blame, bore the wrath, 
A      D        G       A       D 
We stand forgiven at the cross.  

D       D       D 
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face,  
G       D       G                D A 
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.  
D       D       D 
Every bitter thought, every evil deed,  
G       D       A 
Crowning Your bloodstained brow. 

{Chorus} 
  
D       D       D 
Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath, 
G       D       G           D    A 
Quakes as its Maker bows His head. 
D       D       D 
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life; 
G       D       A 
"Finished!" the victory cry. 
  
{Chorus} 
  
D       D       D 
Oh, to see my name written in the wounds, 
G       D       G           D      A 
For through Your suffering I am free. 
D       D       D 
Death is crushed to death, life is mine to live, 
G       D       A 
Won through Your selfless love. 
  
A       G    A  D 
This, the power of the cross: 
D       G     A D 
Son of God - slain for us. 
D       G       G       A 
What a love! What a cost! 
A      D        G       A       D 
We stand forgiven at the cross.
