十字架的力量(The Power of the Cross)

     
  
         这是一首让人整个心灵都被震撼的歌。今天早上上班的路上，收音机中传来了这首歌。就在我听到这首歌的那一瞬间，我的心立即被一股巨大的暖流所充满，浑身上下好像是被一种神奇的力量推动着。。。。。 在三十分钟的路程上，我一直沉浸在这种感动和震撼中，每一句歌词都感染着我，激励着我。Kristyn Getty浑厚，温婉，柔中有刚，富于情感的歌唱，更使我无法抑制，涌自心头的感动。我留着眼泪默默地想着，主在十字架上为我们所成就的一切——他将自己的独生子献上，为了将我们从罪恶和死亡中拯救出来，钉死在十字架上。可我们竟是这样的不堪，更是这样的不配。。。。。

The Power of the Cross

Words & Music 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 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 the pain
Written on Your face,
Bearing the awesome weight of sin.
Ev’ry bitter thought,
Ev’ry 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 vict’ry 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 pow’r of the cross:
Son of God—slain for us.
What a love! What a cost!
We stand forgiven at the cross.
