O Poder da Cruz

I wish to see the dawn
Of the darkest day
Towards Calvary Christ goes
Judged by such vile hands
He endured mockery
And then nailed to the cross

This is the power of the cross
Jesus became a curse
He took the blame, all the wrath
His blood bought us forgiveness

I wish to see the pain
Marking his expression
So heavy is my sin
Every vile thought, every atrocious action
His brow with blood and thorns

This is the power of the cross
Jesus became a curse
He took the blame, all the wrath
His blood bought us forgiveness

Dense darkness
The ground trembles beneath
Lifeless hangs the Creator
The veil torn in two, the dead to live
It is finished, He cried out!

This is the power of the cross
Jesus became a curse
He took the blame, all the wrath
His blood bought us forgiveness

I wish to see the wounds
With my name there
His suffering delivers me
Death then died, and life I gained
By His love, I am saved

This is the power of the cross
God Himself died for us
Such love, what it cost
His blood bought us forgiveness

This is the power of the cross
God Himself died for us
Such love, what it cost
His blood bought us forgiveness
