This week on, Worship Wednesday, we want to highlight “The Power of the Cross” by Keith and Kristyn Getty and Stuart Townsend. This song was produced in 2005 by ThankYou Music. The Getty’s are known for producing worshipful modern hymns that elevate God and His glory.

This song in particular displays the glories of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We see the horrors of the trial and beatings of Jesus, the agony of the death of Jesus, and the powerful resurrection of Jesus from the dead! The truth of the gospel is evident: Jesus, the Son of God, took our sin, bore it on cross, and rose again, so that those who trust in Him will be made new and have the power of the gospel.

We introduced this song this last week at GBC and are excited to continue to learn it. We hope you listen to this song and are led to a greater worship of our God and what He has done through the gospel! We hope you can sing with confidence this truth:

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.
