“Lead me to the cross”, his profile said
his statement to the world, written on the ether,
the ephemeral, the web
permanent as the bits, the bytes, the history,
Lead me to the cross, let me know your paths,
Oh my risen Lord
walk with me, beside me,
guide my wayward ways
correct me, coax me;
lead me in the yoke, your ways
Lead me to the cross, humble, servant king
let me be you, your fragrance, your hands
the feet of the savior, walking toward
walking into danger, into where there is need
give me the strength, the will,
to conform to your holy will
heeding the spirit, growing, within me
Teach me your ways,
Lead me to the cross
