Good Friday: Three Songs of the Cross

Good Friday: Three Songs of the Cross April 22, 2011

Today I thought I would present three songs of the cross that have moved me in honor of Good Friday. I suspect that while a number of my readers may have heard one or two of them, not many have heard all. I encourage everyone to take a few minutes and contemplate all three at some point today.

Each song features a tenor soloist, and as it happens, these are probably my three favorite tenors: Steve Green, Matthew Ward, and Ernie Haase. The songs are “Embrace the Cross” (Steve Green), “Bring Me to the Cross” (Matthew Ward), and “Unexpected Cross” (Ernie Haase). All three are powerful and meaningful. I could try to offer a devotional today, but I will let the lyrics of these songs do it for me. Be blessed.
