'Take Up Your Cross' by Nettie Ramirez: Confronting Doubt with Divine Assurance


It's easy to see why 'Take Up Your Cross' by Nettie Ramirez is becoming increasingly popular. With the energy and optimism of a young woman, Nettie gets right to the heart of giving our life to following God. She also reminds us that following His path often means embracing uncertainty and facing problems head-on.

Nettie Ramirez - Take Up Your CrossNettie is realistic and is aware of the struggles many face – wanting to steer left or right but feeling directionless. The noise of the world is overwhelming at times, and doesn't make it any easier for us to tune out external pressures. Nettie's lyrics, on the other hand, remind you that God fills in the blanks and encourages you to 'take up your cross and follow me.'

The chorus is powerful and uplifting, emphasizing that despite the pain or difficulties, God will always stand by you.

The second verse is about 'dying to myself and all my dreams'. A scene all so familiar where our faith can waver and make us feel uncertain. Nettie reminds us that God is always there, and calls out us to trust Him fully.

'Take Up Your Cross' will bring comfort whenever you feel the weight of doubt or the pressure of what other people think. God's call and promise stays the same, no matter what challenges you are facing. Do yourself a favor and listen to this song today. I'm confident that this song will shine some light on your day.

(Related scripture: Matthew 16:24; Luke 9:23; John 12:25)

Rhett Walker - Man on the Middle Cross (CCM)

Rhett Walker's CCM song, 'Man on the Middle Cross,' is a powerful reflection on the profound impact of God's grace and mercy. The song was inspired by a sermon by Alistair Begg, focusing on the two men crucified alongside Jesus, and the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice. The lyrics vividly describe the scene of three wooden crosses on a hill, with two sinners on either side of Jesus. The first verse expresses the realization that, at times, we all can relate to the sinners on the crosses—feeling guilty, regretful, and undeserving of God's love and forgiveness. The chorus beautifully captures the experience of both sinners, acknowledging that one has been on the left, filled with guilt and regret, while the other has been on the right, always seeking conflict and thinking forgiveness is beyond reach. The overwhelming theme throughout the song is the recognition of God's grace and mercy, which are not earned or deserved but freely given to all. The br...
