Jesus, keep me near the cross, There a precious fountain, Free to all—a healing stream, Flows from Calv'ry's mountain. |
| In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever; From the cross my ransomed soul Nothing then shall sever. |

Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star Sheds 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 see my Savior's face, Leave His presence never. |

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s face,
Leave His presence never.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

This song came to me as I did my quiet time this morning. I searched for it and sang through. Quite inspiring. Lord Jesus, my Lord, my life, my way, my end, please ever always have me by thy cross. I know I will always be good there. Please let NOTHING keep me away from this rugged old cross.
