Lord Jesus, may you forever keep me near the Cross for faithfulness, steadfastness and safety. I will forever cherish the Cross , where my Crown is guaranteed.
I am going through one of the most challenging times of my life. Almost losing myself, I can't help but sing this song from a bleeding heart. I am confident God is with me!
Near the cross I’ll watch and wait,
Hoping, trusting ever,
Till I see my Savior’s face,
Leave His presence never.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.
This song came to me as I did my quiet time this morning. I searched for it and sang through. Quite inspiring. Lord Jesus, my Lord, my life, my way, my end, please ever always have me by thy cross. I know I will always be good there. Please let NOTHING keep me away from this rugged old cross.
Especially in the Easter , this song always make His crucification and Resurrection a thing of now ¬ of yrs gone. I wake with it in the morning , glowing & sweating in the spiritual ecstacy of His anointing . oh what song , what a wisdom of lyrics & tune by the writer through the inspiration of the Almighty God. I bless you Lord for using the writer for us .
It is Amazing to know that my spirit longs for God. Appreciating the beauty of the cross upon which our salvation was won. God, I love you. Permit me never to seperate from you again. Amen
As I'm having my quiet time this morning, this soul lifting song came to mind over and over when I laid on my bed listening to my Lord. It was a sweet moment as the Holy Spirit moved me to sing all the stanzas. Before then I whispered to my Lord how my desires are to meet with Him, then the urge to sing came... Lord just help to watch and pray by your cross till my raptured soul shall find rest beyond the rivers. Amen.
My wife and I joined about 50 other pilgrims for a New Year trip to The Holy Land. We saw many sacred sites, we heard many languages, and we fellowshipped with many new friends. A memory highlight was hearing a group of oriental Christians weaving through the narrow, crowded streets of Jerusalem singing this familiar hymn in their own tongue as we joined in ours. It felt like being in a global mass choir as the chaotic din gave way to vespers.
Our Christian life altogether depends on two things: the cross and the life-giving Spirit. The significance of the cross is of two aspects: the aspect of redemption and the aspect of life. Christianity knows only the shallow aspect of redemption. Stanza 1 of Hymns, #1059 says,
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
We can compare these hymns by A. B. Simpson to hymn #1059, another hymn on knowing the cross of Christ. The first verse and the chorus say:
Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain.
In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
This truth in Galatians is not conveyed in hymn #1059. This hymn was written before A. B. Simpson's writings. At the time it was written, the revelation concerning the Lord's subjectiveness was not that deep. It is a good hymn, but it is obvious that the hymns by Brother Simpson are of a much higher standard.
