Natalie Grant's song 'Power Of The Cross' celebrates the transformative work of Jesus' crucifixion. The lyrics contrast a past state of darkness, blindness, sin, and bondage with a present reality of light, sight, sainthood, and freedom. Each verse highlights a specific change—from stranger to child, condemned to reconciled, broken to healed, prodigal to home, lost to found, enemy to friend, poor to crowned. The repeated chorus emphasizes that these changes are possible because of the cross, which breaks chains. The song is a declaration of personal redemption and the ongoing power of Christ's sacrifice to set people free.

Once blind now you see
Once a sinner now a saint
Once bound now free.
That's the power of the Cross See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross See the chains fall
Once a stranger now a child
Empty now filled
Once condemned now reconciled
Broken now healed
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
Once a prodigal now home
Once lost now found
Once and enemy now a friend
Once poor now crowned
That's the power of the Cross
See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross
That's the power of the Cross See the chains fall
That's the power of the Cross See the chains fall
See the chains See your chains fall
See the chains See your chains fall.
