Near The Cross

Near The Cross Fanny J. Crosby, William H. Doane Jesus, keep me near the cross— There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream, Flows from Calvary’s mountain. Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever, 'Til my raptured 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 its 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.

Galatians 6:14 (The Holy Bible, King James Version) "God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world."

Moore's Chapel United Methodist Church 392 Blake Road, Elkton, Maryland, 21921 USA The following text was copied from this page: "When God takes control of a service, expect something beautiful. On February 19th, 2005, Moore's Chapel hosted a Community Christian Mission Lenten Service." … At the end of the service "God decided that he wanted just a little more 'special' music that evening. The last of the singers had gone to sit with their families in the congregation and we were ending the service with the hymn Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross. The Holy spirit flowed from the walls of our 133 year old church and filled everyone's hearts. The unprepared soundman heard what was building and he frantically fired up two microphones that were hung over the, now empty, choir loft. We give you the result here … an unrehearsed congregational hymn, truly inspired by God. Make sure you listen to the last chorus." Video by arnoldedwinp
