The power of the cross

Was going through one of my friend's song album and came across this song.. Quite beautiful... Not surprising as Stuart Townend is one of the writers. I particularly love the lyrics of the 3rd verse:
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

By Keith Getty & Stuart Townend


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
This, the power of the cross
Christ became sin for us
Took the blame, bore the wrath
That we stand forgiven at the cross

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

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

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

FINAL CHORUS:
This, the power of the cross
Son of God - slain for us
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross
