十字架的力量(The Power of the Cross)

     
  
         這是一首讓人整個心靈都被震撼的歌。今天早上上班的路上，收音機中傳來了這首歌。就在我聽到這首歌的那一瞬間，我的心立即被一股巨大的暖流所充滿，渾身上下好像是被一種神奇的力量推動著。。。。。 在三十分鍾的路程上，我一直沉浸在這種感動和震撼中，每一句歌詞都感染著我，激勵著我。Kristyn Getty渾厚，溫婉，柔中有剛，富於情感的歌唱，更使我無法抑製，湧自心頭的感動。我留著眼淚默默地想著，主在十字架上為我們所成就的一切——他將自己的獨生子獻上，為了將我們從罪惡和死亡中拯救出來，釘死在十字架上。可我們竟是這樣的不堪，更是這樣的不配。。。。。

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.
