Near
the Cross
Being near the cross means to be near Jesus, the one that
shed His blood for us. Even though His day of death was dark and dreary, His
light shined through the darkness and glowed all around His followers. It still
glows around those of us who follow Him today. We watch and wait and stay near
the cross so that someday when Jesus appears, we will be taken with Him to the
golden strand. Just beyond the river.
Lyrics by Fanny J. Crosby, arranged by William H. Doane
“Jesus, keep me near the cross, there a precious fountain
free to all a healing stream, flows from Calvary’s mountain.
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 shadows over me.
Near the cross I’ll 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 beyond the river.”
