I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
To the cross where Thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.

Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
By the pow'r of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.

O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God,
I commune as friend with friend!

There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.
Ere Thee face to face I see;
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

Singing this song melted my heart I felt the presence of the cross of our dear Lord Jesus Christ who gave his life for sinners like us
I weep bitterly each time this song is being rendered

This song just dropped in my heart and as I started singing I felt the sense of purpose. A desire for a great revival in the church. I feel like Christ is missing his children because many have gone astray😭
How I wish we can all turn back and behold he who is on the cross and see what manner of love he has for us❤️

Just sang the song during communion service and the consciousness of being in Christ forever is uppermost in me because it only continuous steadfastness in Him that makes life meaningful .

I was in my place of work, I didn't feel anything but only a sound of a song and it began to touch my heart connectively to JESUS, and the song was : draw me nearer to the cross,
I searched the lyrics here on Google and my heart couldn't stop singing it. Oh Lord let the revival begins as of the days of old , AMEN

Whenever I sing the hymn "Draw Me Nearer," I feel in my heart that I need more than I have of Him now.

After my morning Prayer, this song dropped in my spirit, draw me nearer, nearer blessed Lord to thy precious bleed 🩸 ing side. Without the shedding of blood there is no remission for sin. Thank You God for your only son who became the official sacrifice.

Consecrate me now to Your service, O Lord by the power of Your Devine Grace. Draw me more and more to You daily that I may understand fully, the purpose of Your calling.
