A song that has been in my head all week.
January 26, 2009I have been thinking about this song all last week and still even today. It just keeps going through my head over and over again. It really goes along great with this past week and all that God showed me. I can now sing it with all my heart and KNOW it is true. I love the last verse. (Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.) May God bless you all.
Gal. 2:20
“The Power Of The Cross”
Oh, to see the dawn Of the darkest day: Christ on the road to Calvary. Tried by sinful men, Torn and beaten, then Nailed to a cross of wood.
CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Christ became sin for us; Took the blame, bore the wrath— We stand forgiven at the cross.
Oh, to see the pain Written on Your face, Bearing the awesome weight of sin. Ev’ry bitter thought, Ev’ry evil deed Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
Now the daylight flees; Now the ground beneath Quakes as its Maker bows His head. Curtain torn in two, Dead are raised to life; “Finished!” the vict’ry cry.
Oh, to see my name Written in the wounds, For through Your suffering I am free. Death is crushed to death; Life is mine to live, Won through Your selfless love.
FINAL CHORUS: This, the pow’r of the cross: Son of God—slain for us. What a love! What a cost! We stand forgiven at the cross.
