    “The Stand” by Joel Houston

    You stood before creation
    Eternity in Your hands
    You spoke the earth into motion
    My soul now to stand

    You stood before my failure
    Carried the cross for my shame
    My sin weighed upon Your shoulders
    My soul now to stand

    So what could I say
    What could I do
    But offer this heart, O God
    Completely to You

    So I’ll walk upon salvation
    Your Spirit alive in me
    This life to declare Your promise
    My soul now to stand

    So what could I say
    What could I do
    But offer this heart, O God
    Completely to You

    So I’ll stand with arms high and heart abandoned
    In awe of the One who gave it all
    I’ll stand, my soul Lord to You surrendered
    All I am is Yours

  2. 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
