Near the Cross Lyrics

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
Near that precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
That flows from Calvary's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,
But love and mercy found me;
And then the bright and morning star
Sheds its beams around me.

In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river.
Near the cross I'm gonna watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I reach the golden strand,
Just beyond the river.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest
That's what i want Lord
and i know that your waiting to give it to me
and i know that your waiting to give it to me Jesus

Rest

Aleluya
Rest beyond the river
