  1. Modern hymn of the week. . .

    December 29, 2008 by Nate

    Well, my break is over.

    To kick things off, I thought I’d start with another lyric. I was hoping to avoid posting two songs by the same writer back-to-back, but I couldn’t resist. This modern hymn is such a powerful message about our response to Christ’s sacrifice and describes the believer’s yearning to take part in it.

    “Lead Me to the Cross” by Brooke Fraser

    Saviour, I come
    Quiet my soul
    Remember
    Redemption’s hill
    Where Your blood was spilled
    For my ransom

    Everything I once held dear
    I count it all as loss

    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
    Lead me to the cross

    You were as I
    Tempted and tried
    Human
    The Word became flesh
    Bore my sin and death
    Now You’re risen

    Everything I once held dear
    I count it all as loss

    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
    Lead me to the cross

  2. Modern hymn of the week. . .

    December 17, 2008 by Nate

    I thought I’d start a new weekly tradition of posting some lyrics to a favorite hymn (much like Anne Jackson’s Friday Lyrics, except that for now, I’m gonna stick with hymns). Feel free to comment with lyrics to one of your favorite hymns or praises. In fact, I encourage it!

    This song struck hard because these last few weeks I’ve wandered far from my Savior. I’ve fled from my Shepherd’s pasture and wandered off to places I’m not welcome. Yet when I cry out for Him to find me, He is faithful to come searching.

    “Hymn” by Brooke Fraser

    If to distant lands I scatter,
    If I sail to farthest seas,
    Would You find and firm and gather
    ‘Til I only dwell in Thee?

    If I flee from greenest pastures,
    Would You leave to look for me,
    Forfeit glory to come after
    ‘Til I only dwell in Thee?

    If my heart has one ambition,
    If my soul one goal to seek,
    This my solitary vision
    ‘Til I only dwell in Thee,
    That I only dwell in Thee
