  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
