Take this time
Close your eyes
Try to open up your mind
I will lead You
A distant land
A dying man
Lying wounded in your hands
Wonder why he's bleeding
Pierced, Denied
For all to see
In shame, In pride
I've let you bleed
You lived, to die
To set us free
I hear your cry

Whisper over me
And you will find me opened up
I'm broken pouring out my love
You need a life, mine is enough
I'm dying cause I'm here to save you

Looking down as a bitter child
As my life and yours collide
I am dying with you
Until this day, I've run away
But you bring comfort as you say

I am with you
Cause I've seen you crying out
Can't believe your looking down
There's so much love and mercy in your eyes

Behind the Song:
Take this time, close your eyes, try to open up your mind. I will lead you. I will lead you to the place where someone did what no one else I know could ever imagine doing. I don't want you to “think about the cross,” I want you to go there, hold this Jesus in your arms as he's dying, and realize what it's all for. This song hopefully makes it real to the listener--the pain, the drama, and the truth that is found through Jesus' death. (Stereo Motion)
