Another night I didn't at all feel like staying for choir...another night I'm glad I did. So needed to just immerse myself in these words for a while tonight....
Power of the Cross
Once in darkness now in light
Once blind now you see
Once a sinner now a saint
Once bound now free.
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
Once blind now you see
Once a sinner now a saint
Once bound now free.
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
Once a stranger now a child
Empty now filled
Once condemned now reconciled
Broken now healed
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
Once a prodigal now home
Once lost now found
Once and enemy now a friend
Once poor now crowned
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
Once a stranger now a child
Empty now filled
Once condemned now reconciled
Broken now healed
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
Once a prodigal now home
Once lost now found
Once and enemy now a friend
Once poor now crowned
[CHORUS:]
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall!

This is not my favorite arrangement of this song, but it is the only one I could find. :)
I almost skipped choir because the youth/parent meeting before it was to announce our youth pastor's resignation--which means my friend, his wife, moving. But like you, I found myself being ministered to through the songs -- Great is His faithfulness!
ReplyDeleteSeems like the times it's hardest for me to go are the times I need to be there the most. Praying for you as your friend leaves...that is so hard!
