Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.”
—Matthew 16:24
In the songs “Tomaré Mi Cruz” and “Cristo Vive en Mí,” Anna Betancourt explores the meaning of lifting and carrying our own cross to follow Jesus. She acknowledges one of the challenges we face as human beings: keeping our faith. Even at the most difficult moments and in the darkest hours, we must not only accept our cross, but embrace it through the path that will lead to God.
The lyrics in “Dame Tu Paz” and “Ningún Ojo Ha Visto” are prayers for those longing for peace and hope. While “Agradecidos” and “Tú Eres Grande,” with their upbeat melody, are songs of praise and thanksgiving for God’s mercy and abundant blessings in our daily lives.
Another treasured song in this collection tells us the story of a family, that like many other families today, face hardships and danger. This family is and will forever be an example of godliness, the Holy Family, “Sagrada Familia de Nazaret.”
Tomaré Mi Cruz presents inspiring songs for liturgy, worship groups or retreats, as well as for personal reflection and meditation. These songs will inspire peace and hope in times of anxiety or depression, encouraging us to embrace our anguish and fear, and find glory through the way of the cross.
