Newsboys' song 'Lead Me to the Cross' is a worshipful plea for surrender and intimacy with Christ. The lyrics express a desire to be brought to the cross, where Jesus' love was poured out, and to lay down one's own life in submission. The song reflects on Jesus' humanity, temptation, and sacrifice, acknowledging that He bore sin and death, and celebrates His resurrection. It emphasizes counting all worldly things as loss for the sake of knowing Him, and asks to be led to His heart. The overall message is one of humble devotion, repentance, and total surrender to God's will.

Savior I come
Quiet my soul
Remember redemption's hill
Where your blood was spilled
For my ransom
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
You were as I, tempted and trialed
Human
You word became flesh
Bore my sin and death
Now you're risen
Everything I once held dear
I count it all as lost
Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
To your heart
To your heart
Lead me to your heart
To your heart
Lead me to the cross,
Where Your love poured out
Bring me to my knees
Lord, I lay me down
Rid me of myself, I belong to you
Oh lead me, lead me to the cross
