Paroles: Eddy Arnold. Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross.

Jesus keep me near the cross there a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream flows from Calv'ry'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 its beams around me

In the cross in the cross...
[ piano ]

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...
