Oh To See The Dawn The Power Of The Cross Cifras

The Power of the Cross
[Stuart Townend's version)
 
[Intro]
Csus4  G/B C  x2
 
[Verse 1]
Am     G/B      C
Oh, to see the dawn
C        Dm     C/E
Of the darkest day
F             C/E     Dm    G
Christ on the road to Calvary.
Am       G/B    C
Tried by sinful men,
C        Dm       C/E
Torn and beaten, then
F           C/E       G
Nailed to a cross of wood.
 
[Chorus 1]
C/E        F    G        C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E      F     G      C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E       F     D/F#       G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B  C       F     G       C
We stand forgiven at the cross.
 
[Verse 2]
Am     G/B     C
Oh, to see the pain
C       Dm       C/E
Written on Your face,
F           C/E      Dm        G
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Am     G/B     C
Ev'ry bitter thought,
C     Dm    C/E
Ev'ry evil  deed
F              C/E   Dm      G
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
 
[Chorus 2]
C/E        F    G        C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E      F     G      C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E       F     D/F#       G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B  C       F     G
We stand forgiven at the cross.

[Verse 3]
Am       G/B      C
Now the daylight flees;
C        Dm      C/E
Now the ground beneath
F             C/E   Dm        G
Quakes as its Maker bows His head.
Am       G/B    C
Curtain torn in two,
C         Dm       C/E
Dead are raised to life;
 F              C/E     G
"Finished!" the vict'ry cry.
 
[Chorus 3]
C/E        F    G        C
This, the pow'r of the cross:
C/E      F     G      C
Christ became sin for us;
C/E       F     D/F#       G
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
G/B  C       F     G       C
We stand forgiven at the cross.

[Verse 4]
Bm     A/C#    D
Oh, to see my name
D       Em     D/F#
Written in the wounds,
G                D/F#      Em    A
For through Your suffering I am free.
Bm        A/C#       D
Death is crushed to death;
D       Em      D/F#
Life is mine to live,
G                D/F#       A
Won through Your selfless love.
 
[Chorus]
D/F#       G    A       D
This, the pow'r of the cross:
D/F#    G     A       D
Son of God  slain for us.
D/F#    G    E/G#    A
What a love! What a cost!
A/C#  D       G    A        D
We  stand forgiven at the cross.
