god medias Oh to see the dawn of the darkest day – Good Friday song lyrics
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 1-3:
This 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 bloodstained brow. Chorus
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! Chorus
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 Your selfless love!
Chorus (after 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!
