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. |

It is near the cross that we are humbled to behold the love, the mighty that secured our salvation and the magnitude of sin. To Jesus who paid the penalty, to the Father who gave His son, and to the Holy Spirit who resurrected Christ from the grave, I am forever be grateful🙏

This hymn just came to mind after I listened to an audio sent by my Pastor. I'm always ever so blessed whenever I sing through the hymn no matter the situation around me.

This old song from my teen years in the 60’s came into my mind. I had to look it up and sing it through - it’s January 11 2021 and we are all going through troubled times. ‘Jesus, keep me near the cross’ indeed
