it feels like i have lost this fight
they think that i am staying down
but i'm not giving up tonight
tonight the wall is coming down
i am stronger than my fears
this is the mountain that i climb
got 100 steps to go
tonight i'll make it 99

i have everything to lose
by not getting up to fight
i might get used to giving up
so i am showing up tonight
i am my own enemy
the battle fought within my mind
if i can overcome step one
i can face the 99

this the power of the cross.

i love the message of this song, both the image it creates and the theological significance it portrays.

appropriate this time, i believe, considering easter is not about a giant, chocolate egg pooping bunny.

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.

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.

this, the pow'r of the cross:
Christ became sin for us;
took the blame, bore the wrath—
we stand forgiven at the cross.

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.

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 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.

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...
