Jesus Keep Me Near - Solo Meditation
Near The Cross (strumming guitar version)
Author: Fanny Crosby (1869)
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
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
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds his 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
Oh Lamb of God
Bring it’s scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadows over 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’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
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
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
Love and mercy found me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds his beams around me
There the bright and morning star
Sheds his 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
Oh Lamb of God
Bring it’s scenes before me
Help me walk from day to day
With its shadow over 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’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
Oh Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
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
Rest beyond the river
Rest beyond the river
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Rest beyond the river
About Us:
This world is a dry and weary land.
All around us are people dying for a drink of fresh, new life.
We find ourselves lost, alone, broken, hungry, thirsty and on the brink of death.
But none have strayed so far that they cannot return.
Jesus actively seeks and works to rescue every last one of His precious souls redeemed from destruction by the very high price of His spotless life and terrible death on their behalf.
As the world departs further and further from God, and you find yourself in a dark, lonely desert place longing for hope, faith, love and a future, remember that Jesus loves you.
Cry out to Him for help and surrender your life back to Him.
He promised He would take you back, always.

Love,
Nick and Lauren
