Kneel at the Cross

1

Kneel at the cross, Christ will meet you there

Come while He waits for you

Listen to His voice, leave with Him your cares

And begin life anew

2

Kneel at the cross, there’s room for all

Who will his glory share

Bliss there awaits, harm can nary fall

Those who are anchored there

3

Kneel at the cross, give your idols up

Look unto realms above

Turn not away, to life’s sparkling cup

Trust only in His love

CHORUS

   Kneel at the cross, kneel at the cross

   Leave every care, leave every care

   Kneel at the cross, kneel at the cross

   Jesus will meet you there

In our present time and place Christians don't have to deal too much with literal religious idols -- carved images representing other 'gods' to be worshipped. The idols of our world come in the form of desires for things that may draw us away from God, or become more important to us than God.  

Colossians 3:5

Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry.

In our present time and place, there is one glaring idol that rises above all others -- money. I could write a whole book (actually, I did) about the way the Bible tells us to regard wealth and poverty. What we see in our world today is the exact opposite of the way God tells us to look at it. Money has become our idol.

1 Timothy 6:10

For the love of money is the root of all evil.
