Lent Hymn: Lead Me to the Cross — February 18, 2026
Lead Me to the Cross
Spiritual Meditation
"Lead Me to the Cross" is a poignant hymn for Ash Wednesday, marking the beginning of our Lenten journey. It calls us to strip away the distractions of the world and return to the foot of the cross. As we begin these forty days of reflection, the song serves as a prayer for humility, repentance, and a deeper focus on the sacrifice made for our redemption.
The Hymn's Legacy
Written by Brooke Fraser in 2006 and popularized by Hillsong United, this anthem has become a staple for the Lenten season. Its raw honesty and focus on "coming to the foot of the cross" perfectly mirror the spirit of Ash Wednesday—reminding us of our mortality and our absolute need for the grace found in Christ's sacrifice.
A Lenten Prayer
"Heavenly Father, on this Ash Wednesday, we begin our journey toward the cross. Lead us away from our own pride and toward the humility of Your Son. As we reflect on His sacrifice, create in us clean hearts and renew a right spirit within us. May we follow Him faithfully through this season of Lent. Amen."
