For several years I've posted a weekly Lenten series on a selected topic. This year, on Fridays, I'll be featuring songs we sing to honor the Cross of Jesus. The very fact that we sing of the suffering of Jesus is a testimony to our faith and belief that in his death we find our life...
Tonight's selection is Song of the Cross by Susan HooKong-Taylor. I suggest you pray with the song first, then move on to my Night Prayer... (If a widget doesn't appear below, click here!)
Love, lifted on the cross for meMy Lord, my God, my salvationLove, lifted high to set me freeMy Lord, my God, my salvation (2X)
Behold the wood of the crossBehold the Lamb that was slainBehold your King comes victoriousBehold, He has risen again
Refrain
Oh, be exalted, oh GodAbove the Heavens and the EarthFor by Your cross and resurrectionYou have redeemed the world
Refrain
Oh, my salvation
Give glory to the FatherGive glory to the SonGive glory to the Holy SpiritGive glory to the Holy One
Refrain
Night Prayer
Lord, when I'm down and out and I'm all alone,
I see you lifted high on the Cross for me...
When I'm down to the end of my courage and strength,
I see you lifted up on the Cross for me...
When my soul is downcast, my spirits low,
I see you lifted up on the Cross for me...
When I'm down in the depths of my sorrows and tears,
I see you lifted high on the Cross for me...
When I'm down and burdened by worry and fear,
I see you lifted up on the Cross for me...
When I'm down to the last of hope and my trust,
I see you lifted high on the Cross for me...
When I'm so far down I can't find up,
I see you lifted high on the Cross for me...
Lift me, Lord, up into your arms,
lift me up in your mercy and love;
lift me up to the life you offer,
the life you gave for me on the Cross...
Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake
and watch over me while I sleep
that awake, I might keep watch with you
and asleep rest in your peace...
Amen.
Maybe you'd like to pray again with the song...
