Hive Open Mic wk#257 for this week's theme, "Quarezma," I'll be doing a song by Hillsong titled "Lead me to the cross." I love this song so much, it's a reflection of the death of Christ and the sufferings he had to go through just so we could be saved.
According to Google, "Quarezma" is the Spanish term for "Lent." It's the period of celebration of the death and rising of our Lord and Savior. I chose this song because it's perfect for this week's theme.
It's the season of Lent, and we're constantly reminded of the love and intimate sacrifice Christ had to make on the cross just so we could be saved.
Lent is a season of repentance, reflection, and a time of renewal. It's a time to reflect on our lives, acknowledge our sins,and ask for forgiveness from our maker. This season is a time to drop our pride, fears, wealth, and doubt and just surrender ourselves as mere mortals to the one who gave us life.
Normally during this season, the Catholics always make a playlet of Jesus Christ being beaten and killed on the cross. They act this walking on the road, and I'm always moved to tears whenever I see this because I can only imagine one person being flogged, stoned, and killed on the cross just because of our sins, just so we can live. Praise God! I hope this song speaks to you â¨
Lyrics "Lead me to the cross"
Savior I come quiet my soul
Remember redemption's hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom
[Pre-Chorus]
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as loss
[Chorus]
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
