Lead Me to Calvary- Good Friday Meditation

Tonight we will remember the perfect sacrifice of the Lord Jesus Christ.  Upon the cross of Calvary Jesus bore the righteous wrath of God.  He provided a substitutionary sacrifice (see Isaiah 53; 2 Cor. 5:20-21; Genesis 22).

Lake Country Bible Church's 6:30 pm Good Friday, Communion service flows out of the heartbeat of this wonderful song:

King of my life, I crown Thee now,
Thine shall the glory be;
Lest I forget Thy thorn-crowned brow,
Lead me to Calvary.

Refrain:
Lest I forget Gethsemane,
Lest I forget Thine agony;
Lest I forget Thy love for me,
Lead me to Calvary.

Show me the tomb where Thou wast laid,
Tenderly mourned and wept;
Angels in robes of light arrayed
Guarded Thee whilst Thou slept.

Let me like Mary, through the gloom,
Come with a gift to Thee;
Show to me now the empty tomb,
Lead me to Calvary.

May I be willing, Lord, to bear
Daily my cross for Thee;
Even Thy cup of grief to share,
Thou hast borne all for me.
