As the date for the commemoration of the Resurrection of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ draws near, Gospel music minister, Favour Uzo drops a new single titled “The Cross” just in time for the Easter celebration.
“The Cross” is a reminder of why Christ came, died and resurrected.
In John 19 vs 30, when Jesus was crucified at the cross, He said it is FINISHED, that means He has settled it all, He has defeated satan, sin, sickness etc. And He got the victory. This means we are no longer under captivity, we are free, we are new born, our sins he has forgiven…
Favour shares the inspiration behind “The Cross” this way; “One of the days in Feb 2021, i was in my choir retreat and holy-spirit started talking to me about THE CROSS and what Jesus did, i cried uncontrollably. I began to understand what Jesus really did for us at the cross.
I thought it was over until the upper week precisely on a Tuesday; I was spending time with the holy spirit and worshiping. Then this song about the cross started coming out of my mouth, immediately I knew a new song had been released to me”.
At the cross Jesus did it all for us.
