Returning to the Cross... the title of my blog may seem curious to some. But to me and my sisters, it is unique to me, and significant in this last year of my life. As I mentioned in my blog about growth, I had a lot of struggles last year, and in talking (or rather listening) with my older sis, Cassie, she described to me something very insightful, and very profound to me. She described that in order to find complete redemption and reconciliation from sin we must return to the cross, because that is where it all happened for those of us who believe. It was there that Christ' blood was poured out for us, sacrificially; it was there that He said, "It is Finished!"; it was at the foot of the Cross that I was given new birth. At the cross, my sins were taken away and removed for eternity. Then Cassie shared with me and incredible song that led me to the title of my blog. Here is the song: Lead Me to the Cross, 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 trialed, You are, the word became flesh, bore my sin and death, now your risen, 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..."
It's amazing, and probably one of my favorite songs!!!
Blessings, Lindsey <><
