Saturday Song

"The Power of the Cross" is another beautiful song written by Kieth Getty that powerfully tells the story of Calvary. If you have not heard this song there is a link below to a video of  Keith & Kristyn Getty performing it. Like many songs, it can be found recorded by several different artists.

Sample of lyrics:

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. 

This, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
Took the blame, bore the wrath—
We stand forgiven at the cross.

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. 

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.
