1.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.
Refrain (verses 1-3)
This is the power of the cross; Christ became
sin for us. Took the blame, bore the
wrath, we stand forgiven at the cross.
2.Oh, to see the pain written on your face,
bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
crowning your blood stained brow.
3.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 victory cry.
4.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 you selfless love!
Refrain (verse 4)
This the power of the cross; Son of God
slain for us. What a love, what a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.

1.Light of the world, you stepped down into
darkness, opened my eyes, let me see.
Beauty that made this heart adore you,
hope of a life spent with you.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that you’re my God. You’re
altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.
2.King of all days, O so highly exalted,
Glorious in heaven above. Humbly you
came to the earth you created, all for love’s
sake became poor.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that you’re my God. You’re
altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.
And I’ll never know how much it cost to
see my sin upon that cross. I’ll never know
how much it cost to see my sin upon
that cross. I’ll never know how much it
cost to see my sin upon that cross.
I’ll never know how much it cost to see
My sin upon that cross.
Here I am to worship, here I am to bow down,
here I am to say that you’re my God. You’re
altogether lovely, altogether worthy,
altogether wonderful to me.
