Sang this at church last week. Like 'In Christ Alone', it's so profoundly written and centres on the truth. The Gospel is something not even the most intellectual person could comprehend. Yes the power of the Gospel is foolish but the victory of Christ is already at hand. The Joy as a God's child is ongoing and you can mock us as much as you like but in the end, His glory prevails!
Oh to see my friends, Kneeling at the Cross Bathed in the Love of God! “Every knee shall bow Every tongue confess: Jesus is LORD of all!” This the power of the Cross None too far None too lost Heed God’s call Count the cost Come, be forgiven at the Cross
I love this song, but I really love the way Kristyn sings it - so clear, so beautiful, and just this pure voice and a piano! The meaning of the song is so much more clear! Praise Jesus for what He did for us - Thank God for the voice and the musicians that presented His story through this song.
This hymn is so majestic..so true..so awesome and beautiful. This is excellent theology in song. Anyone listening to the song will learn of Salvation's cost and the price He paid . This should become a standard for our hymnals. Our young people should learn it- it may be the only true message they hear in today's modern day churches where the Cross and it's message have been conveniently removed. I love it and I have enjoyed the Getty's music for several years. This is anointed music..the kind which honors God!
It is so sad that we do not have the Power of the Cross preached from the pulpit. That is why I mis seeing the Billy Graham Crusades anymore be cause he preached the power of the cross. Thank you for this song
yes, it's really nice to have the song sung by young people to understand the love of GOD through his Son Jesus Christ who bore all are sins and washed them away and may the Holy Spirit continue to dwell in every life of a Christian
Its hard to find quality worship music nowadays with such powerful lyrics like this. Nowadays most of them sound like lovesongs. This one gives respect to God.
I find myself listening over and over to this song - what a wonderful composition! These are my new favorite songwriters. So drawn and so blessed am I.
Keith Getty plays beautifully and is a wonderful lyricist. He has a deep love and appreciation for the classic hymns of the Church and he is now composing some of the very best contemporary worship hymns. Kristyn is just angelic. Her physical beauty is surpassed by her gentle spirit. There is a look of rapture on her face and in her eyes as she sings this marvelous song. Please pray for this young couple's ministry. May God continue to use them to bring Him glory and praise.
This song is so touching to me. I know a lot of people are not Christians I hope that missionaries would share the gospel to people around the world. :-)
Amen! I saw Keith and Kristyn live, and God truly used them to bring Himself glory! This song in particular brought me to the brink of tears; I was so deeply moved by the music, the lyrics, and the overwhelming truth of Christ's death for us. Thank you, Keith and Kristyn, for sharing these beautiful songs with the world! Thank for your humility and generosity--for treating us concertgoers as equals and brethren. I will definitely pray for this wonderful couple.
She is still going strong...I have heard her live a good number of times. There is something especially good on this performance. This is an especially precious performance, including Keith. We are blessed!
Oh Kristyn Getty, I so love you and your voice. God has really blessed you with an angelic voice. I am so touched by your songs...YOur expression is so spiritual...You indeed made me thank God for what HE has done for me......OH WHAT A JOY! CHRIST OFFERED HIMSELF.....OH PEOPLE! LET'S LOVE LEARN TO LOVE AND TRUST HIM.....HE IS THE PERFECT SACRIFICE.....THANK YOU JESUS! The pianist also does a great, great job...you guys please continue using ur talents for the glory of God.
HALLELUJAH!!!!!!!! Sing it sista. I love these lyrics, "my name has been written in his wounds." For He was wounded for MY transgression and He was bruised for MY iniquity and the chastisment for MY peace was up on Him and by His wounds I have been healed!
I absolutely love this song. And sung by her makes it all the better. She has an amazing voice, whether it's singing or just speaking. I could listen to her for hours.
Kristyn, you are very beautiful. You are a very talented singer. You sing like an angel of god. Your voice is very beautiful. You have beautiful hair and a very beautiful face, beautiful eyes. What a beautiful woman you are.
As i watch this im brought close to tears. Christ could love us so much. I pray for all those so called celebrities who have been carried away by material things. I pray for people who follow them along, Lord in a world like this, show your grace. I await you. Amen :)
My favourite song writer and singer. Just bought the album In Christ Alone and love "O Church Arise..." The power of the cross is AWESOME every day, even in the darkest of moments. Thank you Lord for the blessing of Keith & Kristyn's ministry!
Thank you, Jesus, Yeshua, Savior. I love You so very much for what You did for me and everyone else in the world. Because of Your suffering and death we now have access to knowledge of the Father's Love. You are Everything to me.
Ohhhhh, what manner of love has the father bestowed upon us that we should be called children of God. I has not occurred to us how we will be like when He appears. Because of the cross, my God! we shall be like Him- Oh what grace, my God! i'm totally broken before your cross because of such great power of the cross that has set me free. We are freeeeeeee!!!!!!!!! God bless you sister
Kristyn, this song....brings me right to the cross every time. I cry every time I hear you sing it. Gods perfection and completion through music. Thank you, thank you, thank you both.
Great song and very touching deep in my heart. Hope everyone of us will experience what a love and what a cost to us, so we can stand forgiven at the cross.
Beautiful Kristyn and Keith Getty! Such a beautiful song, so emotionally reflecting the sacrifices our Lord Jesus made for us! So appropriate for this Good Friday. Really appreciated you performing this so beautifully at The Peoples Church a few years ago!
It was in hearing this song that brought me back to the Lord. It made me spill out my heart to Him after years of backsliding. Praise be to Jesus, and thank you Keith and Krystin. Colin Watt.
Beautiful song Powerful!! Almighty God may we the church never take the sacrifice that Jesus went through for granted. May our hearts break for those who do not know Jesus. This is my prayer and my passion.
Praise God for you Kristyn. I listened to the Power of the Cross and you have such a wondeful and soothing voice. I will definitely keep listening to you. You really do sing from the heart. More power to you. God bless you!
Now that is a picture of true beauty. A women that loves the Lord, sings beautiful, looks beautiful with a sweet spirit. This is the kind of women that should be the roll model for young girls and the desire of men.
Wow, that's captivating. The church really has the best music. So encouraging and refreshing. He writes and plays expertly and she sings with such passion and beauty. Truly a work of art.
Preaching of God is foolishness to those who do not believe, but I believe everyone one time or another who is lost has heard that voice that speaks to the heart, that is His spirit, and my faith is not a belief, it is a knowing that God lives in me and those of you who are lost do not know what your missing.
The owrds and the progression of this song are AMAZING.. the last verse in particular is one of the most fantastic statements of truth we sing...never fails to make me wonder again about the awesomeness of salvaion.
God in Three Persons...The Holy Trinity...God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit ...created the Heavens and the Earth in Oneness! Bless the Lord o my soul , all that is within me bless His Holy Name ..Amen Thanks for the beautiful song...soothing and encouraging reminder of the Finished Work of the Cross Thank You Father God Lord Jesus :)♡
The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God. 1 Cor. 1:18 NLT
I love her accent! :D This song is also amazing!!! :D One of my very favorit songs. I sang this at a state competition. and I got 4th place. I was Glad that I placed, but I was also glad to praise my Lord Jesus Christ! The power of the cross has surly broken many proud hearts and it has broken mine. I am VERY glad that it did! Praise God!
This is one of the best songs on RU-vid and I try to listen to it at least once a week. I just love the Gettys. I just notice that tomorrow will be the tenth anniversary for this song being on here! Congrats to Keith and Kristyn for this beautiful Christ honoring song!!
Beautifully sung you might want to check the transcript I don't know if you can correct it but it didn't pick up her words very well and some of the words she sang are very important to be correctly transcribed
The pianist Keith is the co-writer of the song (with Stuart Towend). He is also Kristyn's husband. Aren't they doing marvelous work for the worship of the church!
What a beautiful, beautiful depiction of the love of God for mankind! I love the peaceful, pure way you present the inspiration God gives you. Keep it up. I LOVE your music. No distractions, just pure worship from the heart.
