I Love You, Lord / Jesus, Keep Me Near the Cross (Live) Lyrics by Matt Merker

Together for the Gospel V (Live)

2022

[Verse]
I love you, Lord
And I lift my voice
To worship you, O my soul, rejoice
Take joy my King
In what you hear
Let it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear
––––––––––––––––––––––
[Verse 1]
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain
[Refrain]
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
[Verse 2]
Near the cross, a trembling soul
Love and mercy found me
There the Bright and Morning Star
Shed His beams around me
[Refrain]
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
[Verse 3]
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
[Refrain]
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
[Verse 4]
Near the cross! I’ll watch and wait
Hoping, trusting ever
Till I reach the golden strand
Just beyond the river
[Refrain]
In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my ransomed soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
