lead me to the cross

Lead me to the cross where Your love poured out
lead me to my knees i belong to You
rid me of myself Lord i lay me down
led me to the cross
led me to YOUR heart

Oh God i long to be like You
to love like YOU
to forgive as YOU
to shine like YOU
to heal as YOU

lead me to the altar of self sacrifice
tie me down tight with many strong ropes
for my flesh is fighting with all it has
and my human heart seeks prideful applause

tear out of me this human condition
this self preservation and self adoration
this sin born in me at birth
be a fire burning in my bones seeking You

rise in me my GOD and be not a gentleman
it is my request even my deep desire
to be destroyed and recreated in Your image
to shine like the SON and glorify You Father

oh SAVIOR i come
quiet my soul
redemptions here, where Your blood was spilt
where YOU in the flesh bore my sins in death
now i rise with YOU
now i am made new like YOU

Struggle

God hear me tonight as i fight
old enemies have joined forces
and bombarded my senses
Hold me tightly Jesus lest i fall

My end could be so much worse
than the walk of my previous course
bid my heart up tight oh Lord
and strap it to Your own

The flesh is such a terrible thing
coming moment by moment against me
pulling me continually with out rest
resist resist submit, submit

Oh God do not let me fall into sin
tear the thoughts far far from me
I give up all earthly desires and satisfaction
just to be with You oh God

just to be with You
