Lyrics
Verse One Jesus, keep me near the cross— There a precious fountain, Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calvary’s mountain. When my heart is feeling heavy, When my steps are slipping low, There Your mercy calls me closer, There Your love begins to flow. Chorus (Solo with choir pillows under) Hold me there… Hold me there… At the cross where Your glory fills the air. Hold me there… Hold me there… Jesus, keep me Near the cross— Hold me there. Verse Two Near the cross, O Lamb of God— Bring its scenes before me, Let me walk from day to day With its shadow o’er me. When the journey feels uncertain, When the night is long and cold— Let the cross be my reminder Of the story grace has told. Chorus (Choir rising) Hold me there… Hold me there… At the cross where Your glory fills the air. Hold me there… Hold me there… Jesus, keep me Near the cross— Hold me there. Bridge (Call & Response – worshipful) Solo: In the cross— Choir: Hold me there. Solo: In its power— Choir: Hold me there. Solo: In its mercy— Choir: Hold me there. Solo: In Your presence— Choir: Hold me there. Vamp (Choir swelling; solo ad-libs soaring) Hold me there… Hold me there… Never let me Drift away. Keep me close… Keep me near… At the cross, Day by day. Hold me… Hold me… Jesus, hold me there. Final Tag Jesus, keep me near the cross— Hold me there.
