Jesus Keep Me Near - Studio Duet

Jesus Keep Me Near - Studio Duet

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
