Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s face,
Leave His presence never.

This song is so inspiring to the extent of vanguishing every bitterness in an inpenitent heart. I can attest to this.

The Cross of The Lord should be my Glory, not just power or material things just Like Paul, that I may know Him and the power of His Death and Resurrection

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🙏
