to the cross

Three words stuck out in Nicki’s {inspirational entry} this week …

HE REQUIRED JESUS

We all have issues. They may or may not be flat out addictions. But…

WE ALL REQUIRE JESUS

Soak in this song and meditate on the lyrics below.

You will notice in the lyrics the words, Lead me to the Cross. Jesus took all of your addictions, the times you failed, the times you hurt others to the Cross and died to wipe away all your sins in God’s eyes. This is a very tough concept to grasp, but it is ABSOLUTE TRUTH.

Twentysomething, Kate Carlson sings Lead Me To the Cross by Hillsong

Lyrics by Hillsong

Savior 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 tried
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

~ Why is it so hard to face up to the things you know you need to take to Jesus and to the Cross?
