A blog extra the Christian  song: "Near the cross"

From Frances J. Crosby (the blind song writer, she knew Him)

1. Jesus, keep me near the cross,
   There a precious fountain—
   Free to all, a healing stream—
   Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.
   
   • Refrain:
     In the cross, in the cross,
     Be my glory ever;
     Till my raptured soul shall find
     Rest beyond the river.
2. Near the cross, a trembling soul,
   Love and Mercy found me;
   There the bright and morning star
   Sheds its beams around me.
3. Near the cross! O Lamb of God,
   Bring its scenes before me;
   Help me walk from day to day,
   With its shadows o’er me.
4. Near the cross I’ll watch and wait
   Hoping, trusting ever,
   Till I reach the golden strand,
   Refrain:
   In the cross, in the cross,
   Be my glory ever;
   Till my raptured soul shall find
   Rest beyond the river.Just beyond the river.

God Bless you friend, this song blessed my heart today, my Brother in Christ mentioned Heb.10 19  Therefore, brothers, since we have boldness to enter the sanctuary through the blood of Jesus,
then v.22 says "let us draw near" and then this song came to my heart and mind.

God bless you,
