While the disciples gathered the day before Christ’s resurrection in shock and sadness, we stand this day before Easter and sing of the power of the cross.

For we know its full meaning, its cosmic purpose, and its eternal glory.

Many songs have been written on the cross of Christ, but one of the more recent hymns of note is “The Power of the Cross,” which comes to us courtesy of the dynamic duo of Getty and Townend. My favorite version to date comes from Matt Hammitt of Sanctus Real fame, check it out above.

Sing this day of Calvary’s power!
