The Mississippi Mass Choir
Near the Cross
[Intro]
Dr. Frank Williams
My, my, my

[Verse 1]
Jesus, keep me near the cross
There's a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing, healing stream
Think about
It flows from Calvary's, Calvary's foun-fountain
Listen, y'all

[Verse 2]
In, in the cross, I'll watch, I'll watch and wait
Hoping, hoping and trusting, trusting ever
'Til I reach that golden, golden strain, oh
It's just beyond, woo, the ri-river
That's my prayer tonight

[Chorus]
Keep me here
In the cross
I wanna stay here
In the cross
Oh, be, be my glory, my glory, my glory, my glory, my glory, my glory, my glory, my glory, ever
Be my glory ever
Yes, 'til my rapture, my raptured, my raptured soul
'Til my raptured, 'til my raptured soul
Oh, it's gonna find, it's gonna find rest beyond the river
Rest beyond the river
[Outro]
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
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest
Rest beyond the river
Somebody needs to praise Him in this place
Somebody needs to praise Him in this place
Praise Him in here
Somebody needs to praise Him in this place
Praise Him in here
