Lead Me to the Cross

I posted this yesterday but since I'm not uploading anything today I thought I'd add it to the cliche Saturday group. You could say crosses are cliche, it seems they are everywhere and in every style possible but for me it's the old rugged cross and the man who gave His life upon it that captures my heart and soul.

 

Today we went to Church for Good Friday, our Pastor read from Matthew 26:36-46. Jesus knows of his coming crucifixion and death and He goes to Gethsemane to pray to His Father. He prays saying “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Three times He prays this to the Father in agony and sorrow. Yet the hour had come and his betrayer came and Jesus was led away to be tried and crucified. I was reminded and humbled again today of the great price my Saviour paid for my ransom. He took my sin upon Himself, Him who was sinless, that I might be set free and I will forever be thankful. We sang the song “Lead Me to the Cross” and I’d like to share the lyrics with you.

 

Saviour I come

Quiet my soul remember

Redemptions hill

Where Your blood was spilled

For my ransom

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as lost

 

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord I lay me down

Rid me of myself

I belong to You

Lead me, lead me to the cross

 

You were as I

Tempted and trialed

You are

The word became flesh

Bore my sin and death

Now you're risen

 

To your heart

To your heart

Lead me to your heart

Lead me to your heart
