TRUE STORY. Happy-joyous-victorious Easter!

Because of this:

Matt Redman sings one of my all-time favorite songs about what happened on the cross

YOU LED ME TO THE CROSS (Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross)

You Led Me To The Cross (double-click and open to listen)

VERSE 1:
You led me to the cross
And I saw the face of mercy in that place of love
You opened up my eyes
To believe Your sweet salvation
Where I’d been so blind
Now that I’m living in Your all forgiving love
My every road leads to the cross

CHORUS:
Jesus, keep me near the cross
I won’t forget the love You’ve shown
Savior, teach me of the cross
I won’t forget the love
I won’t forget the love You’ve shown

VERSE 2:
And there’s an empty tomb
That tells me of Your resurrection and my life in You
The stone lies rolled away
Nothing but those folded grave clothes
Where Your body lay
Now that I’m living as a risen child of God
My every road leads to the cross

Jesus died.  But death couldn’t hold Him.  He lives.  He lives!

And there’s an EMPTY TOMB
That tells me of Your RESURRECTION and my LIFE in You
The stone lies rolled away
Nothing but those FOLDED GRAVE CLOTHES
Where Your body lay
Now that I’m living as a risen child of God
My EVERY ROAD LEADS to the CROSS

NOTE:  Not sure why the last few seconds of the song are cut off, but you can finish it!  Sing this:  “My every road leads to the cross.”
