Lead Me To The Cross
Hillsong United Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Savior 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 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
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
Now you're 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
Oh, lead me, lead me to the cross

To Your heart
To Your heart
Lead me to Your heart
Lead me to Your heart

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

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

Overall Meaning

Hillsong United's song "Lead Me to the Cross" is a reflection on the power of redemption through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. In the first verse, the singer acknowledges the need for salvation ("Savior I come") and asks God to quiet the distractions of the world so that they can focus on the true significance of the cross as the site of "Redemption's hill." The singer acknowledges that everything they once held dear ("I count it all as lost") pales in comparison to the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and the salvation it brings to those who believe.


The chorus is a prayer for God to lead the singer to the cross and to bring them to their knees in humble adoration of Christ's love. The singer asks God to rid them of self-centeredness and to take ownership of their life as they belong to him. The bridge acknowledges the humanity of Jesus ("You were as I") and celebrates both his willingness to endure temptation and trial and his ultimate victory in rising from the dead.


Overall, Hillsong United's "Lead Me to the Cross" is a powerful reminder that our hope is found in the cross of Christ, and it is through him alone that we can experience true redemption.
