Nearer The Cross

(album: The Gospel According To Ike And Tina - 1974)

Jesus keep me near the cross
There's a precious fountain
Free to all a healing stream
Flows from Calvary's mountain

Near the cross I watch and wait
Hoping and trusting ever
Till I reach that golden strand
It's just beyond the river

In the cross
In the cross be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
One of these days I will find rest
Rest beyond the river

In the cross
In the cross be my glory ever
Till my raptured
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river

He'll give me wonderful rest
He'll give me sanctified rest
He'll give me glorious rest
He'll give me everlasting rest

Rest, He'll give me rest

Rest, He'll give me rest
He'll give me wonderful rest

Rest, He'll give me rest
He'll give me sanctified rest

Rest, He'll give me rest
He'll give me glorious rest

Rest, He'll give me rest
He'll give me everlasting rest

Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest

Rest beyond the river
