Verse 1

What wondrous love is this
O my soul O my soul
What wondrous love is this
O my soul
What wondrous love is this
That caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul for my soul
To bear the dreadful curse
For my soul

Verse 2

When I was sinking down
Sinking down sinking down
When I was sinking down
Sinking down
When I was sinking down
Beneath God's righteous frown
Christ laid aside His Crown
For my soul for my soul
Christ laid aside His Crown
For my soul

Verse 3

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

Verse 4

Oh to see the pain
Written on Your face
Bearing the awesome
Weight of sin
And ev'ry bitter thought
Ev'ry evil deed
Crowning Your
Bloodstained brow

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 5

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

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 6

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 2

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
