YOU LED ME TO THE CROSS
And I saw Your 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.
Saviour, 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
Matt Redman
