but to us who are being saved it is the power of God.
See, lifted o'er the dregs of desperation wrought by sin
The cross of Calvary, hope's resolution to begin
He who knew no sin became sin, so sinners may become
The righteousness of Christ, the cornerstone of Christendom
See there the tree that wears the blood that turns sin's scarlet white
And bears the One who loves beyond comprehension's vague flight
He who endured the cross, beheld, while being nailed-engraved
Beyond the nature of love's call to all who would be saved
See Him suffer then die, so you and I may look and live
Hear Him, while being crucified, cry out, 'Father, forgive'
He did not hold against us a debt we could never pay
Then praise the name of Jesus who washes our sins away
See, the grave where they laid Him, it is empty, as He said
Death and hell overthrown by He who arose from the dead
See, lifted o'er the dregs of desperation, Dread's reprieve
The power of the cross; salvation for all who believe

Heb12:2
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus,
the author and perfecter of our faith,
who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down
at the right hand of the throne of God
He humbled Himself and became obedient to death--
even death on a cross.
that if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord,"
and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead,
you will be saved.
