Lead Me to the Cross
Chris Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Savior I come
I quiet my soul remember
Redemptions hill
Where Your blood was spilled
For my ransom, yeah, yeah
Oh, everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
And lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
And bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
And rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, oh lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I
Tempted and trialed
Human
The word became flesh
Bore my sin and death (bore my sin and death)
Now You're risen
Oh, everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost

And lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
And bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
And rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, oh lead me, lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart
Lead me to your heart, yeah, yeah
Lead me to your heart, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah

And lead me to the cross
Where Your love poured out
And bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
And rid me of myself
I belong to You
Oh lead me, lead me, lead me, lead me, yeah




Lead me to the cross, the cross
Lead me to the cross, yeah
