Oh To See The Dawn
by Stuart Townend

Album: Monument to Mercy

Verse 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

Chorus 1
This the pow'r of the cross, Christ became sin for us
Took the blame bore the wrath, we stand forgiven at the cross

Verse 2
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

Chorus 2
This the pow'r of the cross, Christ became sin for us
Took the blame bore the wrath, we stand forgiven at the cross

Verse 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 vict'ry cry

Verse 4
Oh to see my name written in Your wounds, for through Your suff'ring I am free
Death is crushed to death life is mine to live, won through Your selfless love

Chorus 3
This the pow'r of the cross Son of God slain for us
What a life, what a cost, we stand forgiven at the cross
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
