you led me to the cross

At our church we sing some really brilliant songs, a lot of them are by EMU music, which is australian? I think. This is another one though, but by Matt Redman, it's one of my favourites and really encouraged me a few weeks ago when we sang it at our evening service.

Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross
Written by:

* Matt Redman

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.

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

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
