[good] Friday

I've never understood why, exactly the term "good" got applied to the Friday that Christ died.  To me, Sunday is the "good" day, the day that we celebrate.  Friday is sad and painful.  It's dark and hard.  I cannot hardly watch the crucifixion portrayed in a movie or musical.  It is so hard.  And knowing it was ME that put Him there is too much.  There may be little "good" about today, but there is much good about our God who gave His greatest gift to meet our greatest need.  Today is our reminder that when the worst thing that could happen just happened, God is still sovereign and is still good!

Savior I come

Quiet my soul remember

Redemption's hill

Where Your blood was spilled

For my ransom

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as lost

Lead me to the cross

Where Your love poured out

Bring me to my knees

Lord I lay me down

Rid me of myself

I belong to You

Lead me, lead me to the cross

You were as I

Tempted and trialed

Human

The word became flesh

Bore my sin and death

Now you're risen

Everything I once held dear

I count it all as lost

To your heart

To your heart

Lead me to your heart

Lead me to your heart
