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.

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.



Chorus 2:

C     F  G    C
This the pow'r of the cross:

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.
