About The
Song
For Easter 2023 we recorded this fresh cover version of Fanny Jane Crosby's well known Christian Hymn, Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross. Sophia took charge, leading the song from the front well supported by Nathan's harmonies and the warmth of Josiah's deeper tone. With moving adlibs and sweet vocal crossovers this song is a pertinent reminder of the wonders of the cross and a call to all believers to keep Jesus and His cross at the forefront of our minds.
Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross
Oh yeah
Oooh
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain
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
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Oh
Oh
Yeah
Oh
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
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
In the cross in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
Till my raptured soul shall find
Oh rest beyond the river
Oh yeah
Oooh
Till I find rest
Rest beyond the river
Ooh
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river
