The Power of the Cross Songtext
von Casting Crowns

The past that held regret
Over my head is gone
These chains are ashes now
That once were rusted on
I was a runaway
Now I am finally home

My mind was a ghost town
Haunted by yesterday
Until your hand reached down
Pulled me out of my grave
Into the freedom found
Only in Jesus′ name

I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross


The Father gave His Son
So I could be set free
And now the scales are gone
My eyes can finally see
I'll tell the world of all
Jesus has done for me

I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow
Welcome my joy
Now I am living
In the power of the cross

And on that cross, His love held true
Through sacrifice, the old made new
This life I live, I live in faith
Now in Jesus name


I am forgiven
No longer lost
Now I am living
In the power of the cross
Goodbye to sorrow (goodbye to sorrow)
Welcome my joy (welcome my joy)
Now I am living (cause I′m living)
In the power of the cross (power of the cross)

Thank you
Oh God I thank you
Jesus I thank you
Thank you for the cross
Praise you
Oh God I praise You
Jesus I praise You
Praise You for the cross
