Lead Me To The Cross

 

Savior I come, quiet my soul

Oh Lord, please quiet my soul! It's noise devours me and drowns out Your sweet voice. I forget to listen for Your voice, dear Shepherd, and I get focused on my enemy circling around me. He only comes to kill, steal and destroy.

Remember, redemption's hill

Cast my eyes to the hill of Golgotha every single day of my life! Remind me of Your innocent blood spilled upon the ground for my sake. What do I have to complain about in Your majestic shadow? How can I forget so easily, the magnitude of that moment? Sweet Jesus, make this world distasteful to me compared to even the hem of Your garment.

I want to run to the Cross! No hurdles, no obstacles and no detours can stop me. I am strong only in You. I am so weak but You are so amazing and strong. Let me lean on You when the mountains rise between You and I. God is here, let the broken hearted rejoice! Let the sick say I am well!

Where Your blood was spilled

For my ransom

Your blood was spilled for me. Precious life flowing from wounds that I should have suffered. Your body broken beyond recognition. Deserted by all who followed You through so many dangers, toils and snares. I desert you all the time Lord. Oh God, please forgive me! How many times have I deserted You in my short Christian life? So many that I am loathe to even try and count. Mercy and grace King Jesus - - that is all I can cry out to You.

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as loss

Heaven and earth cry out Your name. Your kingdom is established and I live to know You more. I will never be the same. Spirit of God, my life You've changed. And I'll forever sing Your praise. I live to know You more. (Hillsong)

The rocks have been doing my job Father. The oceans cry out Your majestic name on days that I sit and mourn over my trials. I want to live to know You more. I never want to be the same! There is nothing in this life that compares to Your love and devotion for me. There is no amount of money or fame that can compare to the gift of Your love. There is not a relationship I treasure more than this one between You and I. Oh Savior, I live to know You more!

I can't run to You by my own power or my own might. I can only run to You by the Holy Spirit's power. I'm going to try and keep running this life race until I see Your face Lord. I don't want to live outside Your glory anymore. I want to be like Moses when he came down from the mountain. I want to reflect Your face so much that people ask me to cover my face!

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. Oh, lead me to the cross.
