Step 1

Well, here I go on day 1 of my 30 day challenge. Step 1: My favorite song. Well, it would be very difficult for me to choose my favorite song because there are SO many good ones out there, so instead of trying to limit it to one, I will share the one that has been a blessing to me today. :)

Near the Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross - 

There a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing stream

Flows from Calvary's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Til my ransomed soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul

Love and Mercy found me;

There the Bright and Morning Star

Sheds its beams around me.

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Til my ransomed soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,

Bring it's scenes before me;

Help me walk from day to day

With its shadows o'er me!

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Til my ransomed soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

Hoping, trusting ever,

Til I reach the golden strand

Just beyond the river.

In the cross, in the cross

Be my glory ever

Til my ransomed soul shall find

Rest beyond the river.

This song challenged me to never forget the work of Christ on the cross; the precious price our Savior payed.  And also, that salvation isn't just a one time deal, we need God's salvation every moment of every day!  And that we need  the work of the cross - we can't do anything on our own!

So, stay near to the cross and your Savior today!

God is good.
