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; From the cross my ransomed soul Nothing then shall sever. |

Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and mercy found me; There the Bright and Morning Star Sheds its beams around me. |

Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadow o’er 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 I was healed.
Because of the cross we are all free through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Father we thank You for what You have done in our life.

I’m having a restless night. Unable to sleep. The words, “Jesus keep me near the cross” came to mind and I felt compelled to read (not sing) the words to the entire song.
I want to remember these words when I’m in need of encouragement, so thank you for providing the lyrics.

The cross—altar of transformation with the empowering blood sacrifice what a place of transformation, reassurance for my soul offering a crystal emission of joy of salvation to my soul. Jesus I worship You for the cross.

In the chorus the word "raptured" is used in most hymn books I see, but as a kid we sang "ransomed."

The cross is my strength. Glory be to God. At the cross, I'll wait for His return.

The cross is rough and deadly but after its work is done, comes the manifestation of the resurrection glory and power.
Lord Jesus, keep me near Your cross.
The place of my redemption and transformation.
Bring its scenes continually before me.
May I never lose sight of it.

Praise God & keep me on thy path of righteousness. For I only want to do what matters to you. Praises go up and blessing come down. Father God You’re a miracle worker and I’m asking for a miracle as I eat this bread and drink of this cup. Until we meet face to face, Amen.
