The Shadow of the Cross
I am loving the new David Crowder Band CD -- Church Music. The words to the songs just hit home, and it is the BEST MUSIC EVER to run to! My favorite song so far on the cd is Shadows. The lyrics are incredible... When shadows fall on us We will not fear We will remember When darkness falls on us We will not fear We will remember When all seems lost When we're thrown and we're tossed We remember the cost We rest in Him Shadow of the cross What a word picture! When I listen to the song, I can feel myself kneeling in the shadow... Resting there... Peaceful there... Safe there... No worries there... HOPE there! It reminds me of a sermon I heard by Matt Chandler ( I wish I could remember which one it was). He said (and I am paraphrasing)... The cross is not something we lean against and tell others they had better come over here and kneel down... No, the cross is place where I myself am kneeling and telling others there is room here for them as well!
