She’s done it again. Anne Wilson’s powerful live performance of ‘The Cross’ will leave you encouraged and uplifted. You would think with a voice like Anne’s that she had dreamed of becoming a singer. Initially, Anne wanted to be an astronaut and work for NASA. She had no plans to do anything to do with music. But that’s not the case. She didn’t sing in public until she was in her early 20s after the tragic passing of her brother. Her brother was killed in a car accident in June of 2017. 

She felt led to sing at her brother’s funeral. The music was so powerful it went viral. Clearly, God had other plans for her life. Since then, Anne has been a rising star in the Christian realm. Her music is about keeping our eyes on Christ no matter the struggle or trial. 

Her latest song is incredible right from the beginning, she sings: 

‘You've been tryin' hard to bear the weight of all your shame

And if there's a God up there, you're sure He forgot your name

When your steps are getting heavy, and hope looks all but lost

Just bring it all to the cross’

What a beautiful reminder we no longer bare the heavy weight of our shame. She points listeners who feel lost to go directly to the cross. But the next chorus line is perhaps the best part of the song. She reminds us of the never ending grace we have in Christ. It doesn’t matter what our past is, we all receive God’s grace. It’s never too late. 

We hope this performance serves as a heartfelt reminder you’re never too far to run to the cross and be embraced by God’s grace.
