Power of the Cross


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 
See the chains fall 
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 
See the chains fall 
That's the power of the Cross 
See the chains fall!
~Shelly E. Johnson


This is not my favorite arrangement of this song, but it is the only one I could find. :)

  1. 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!

  2. Seems 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!
