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.
This, the power of the cross:
Christ became sin for us.
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 sin.
Every bitter thought,
Every evil deed
Crowning Your bloodstained brow.
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.
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.

I am a stay at home mother to 4. I am very blessed to have a godly husband who loves the Lord and his family. I welcome the days of much needed grace,the times of sweet victories,and the tears of trials,knowing it is all for God's glory. I want my lifesong to sing to Him,the author and finisher of my faith. Soli Deo Gloria--To the Glory of God alone.

We like a lot of the Townend/Getty music. "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" is one of my favorite songs. I will definitely look this one up.
I have already prayed for your friends. It totally breaks my heart for the wife and kids. Times like these do remind me that God is in control and takes care of His own and gives us the grace we need when we need it (which is continually, but you know what I mean). Thanks for posting about them so more people can be in prayer for your friends. (((hug)))
Beautiful!
Thank you for this beautiful reminder of the power of the cross. Thank you for allowing God to use you to encourage me so often! My prayers continue to be with your friends and you family as you all grieve.
Downloaded and listening to it now. It's beautiful!! Thanks, Kim.
I love the Getty/Townsend hymns Todd has chosen for us recently to sing at church. This one is probably my favorite. Powerful.
BTW, Nin came home and was fine on Sunday. I think sometimes there's just no place like the bathroom at home. ;) Thank you for caring for her in the nursery!
