"Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain;
Free to all, a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
Refrain:
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever,
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross, a trembling soul,
Love and mercy found me;
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me.
Near the cross! O lamb of God,
Bring its scenes before me;
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow o'er me.
Near the cross! I'll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever;
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river."
I love the Fanny Crosby hymns and it is always a wonderful way to start my day by hearing one of hers. All of her hymns are special to me and none any more than this one. May I always stay "Near The Cross" and remember Jesus' love and grace that day on Calvary where He paid the debt for my sin. Thank you Lord for Your marvelous grace!
I pray you will be blessed hearing "Near The Cross" today!
I hope your Tuesday will be terrific!
