Lift High

“Let the walls have their say. Let the walls have their say. Have their say.” my alarm goes off on my cell phone telling me it is time to wake up for church. Now at this time of the morning, 7:20, I am not in the best of moods but I’m not a terrible morning person.

After getting dressed I get in the car, pick K up, and go to work. Once I got there and got started, we started practicing for service. We sang a song off of Steve Fee’s album, We Shine.

The song that we did was called, Lift High, and as we went into the bridge, the lyrics hit home big time. They are as follows,

“Lift up your heads
Oh oh lift up your heads
Look on Him”

What hit home is that we need to “Look on him”. We need to be focusing on Jesus and the Cross. Now I know that it sounds like just another “Christian” saying we have lost the meaning of the cross, but I really feel like we have. When and where did we loose the emphasis of the cross because it was on the cross that Christ paid the price for our sins. It was on the cross that man had a chance. It was on the cross my saviour hung. My question to you today is, are you focused on the cross? Are you stepping out to share the cross with people?
