Heather Headley - The Power Of The Cross Lyrics
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
Christ became sin for us
He took the blame, bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Oh, to see the pain written on Your face
Bearing the awesome weight of all my sin
Every bitter thought, every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow
This the power of the cross
He took the blame and bore the wrath
We stand forgiven at the cross
Now the daylight flees, now the ground beneath
Quakes as it's Maker bows His head
Curtain torn in two, dead are raised to life
Finished the victory cry
This the power of the cross
And Christ became sin for us
He took the blame and 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 and life is mine to live
Won through Your selfless love
And this the power of the cross
Son of God, slain for us
What a love, what a cost
We stand forgiven at, we stand forgiven at
We stand forgiven at the cross

Heather Headley The Power Of The Cross Comments
Ms. Headley words cannot express...... This song has been such a great inspiration to me and I appreciate so much the talent God has given you. Thank you for answering His call.
THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Best version of a powerful song amen
Such a majestic, powerful, awe-inspiring song. Accurately portrays the suffering of our LORD. The Getty's are outstanding psalmists and modern day hymn writers. I love their music and Heather sings this so well. Love it!!
I love the song and I love how Heather portraits Christ's suffering on the cross for our transgressions. Keep ministering for the Lord, you bless me every time I listen.💞
These words were penned by Keith and Kristen Getty who are modern day hymn writers. They write theologically sound, thoughtful lyrics that remind us of God's great love for us and his plan of salvation through Jesus Christ.
This is better than Gettys!
Thank you Paul Donovan for your comments. They are almost as powerful as the song itself. I have the same joyful reaction each time I play this powerful video. I sing along, but I'm in tears as it ends. Your wonderful comments, caused the tears to flow even more, as I amenned what you said.
me too sister!
As POWERFULLY as this ODE about His death,"moves"me,I REALLY want her to do ANOTHER Gospel album,which'll have an ode concerning His glorious RESURRECTION!! If performed as well as THIS ode about His sacrifice,I imagine I'd be simply FLABERSASTED! I love how the angel told them who sought Him in the sepulchre:"Why seek ye the living among the dead;He is NOT here;He is RISEN,(just)AS He SAID."
She not only says this emphatically,but scriptually as well:"Christ BECAME sin..For US!!" LOVE how she(accurately/profoundly)put what essentially became of death as soon as He gave up the ghost:"And death is CRUSHED to DEATH!!"also noted how she poetically tells of how His brutal suffering gave us life eternal as well asDivine health with:"Look to see MY name "written"in(with)the wounds...." I BLAST this song at max volume daily to give myself a boost of encouragement to keep running this race!!
amen brother! I blast it too.......Holy Spirit gives me voice I don't have on my own when I sing this song
Amen,THIS is the ONLY song able to reduce me to tears of JOY!! Love how she instantly"snatches"us from Golgotha MILES away to inside the Temples"Holy of Holies"with:"As its' Maker"bows"His head;"CURTAIN"torn in twoo!!!" THAT part will"hit"anyone who understands the violent RIPPING apart of the Veil of the Temple meant that there was no longer ANYTHING seperating Mankind from God,which showed His plan to restore to us fellowship with Him had WORKED and was NOW already IN"effect"!! GLORY!!
