Nearer, My God, to thee
Nearer to thee
Even though it be a cross
That raiseth me
Still, all my song shall be
Nearer, my God to thee
Nearer, my God to thee
Nearer to thee
Ever since I knew your name
I’ve been searchin’
Before I ever knew your worth
I knew that you were there
Before your sun rose in my sky
I felt your warmin’
I just never knew how
How free that I can be
Oh, when at first I found out
How black my heart could be
My anguish made me cry out
And fear eternity
But now, when that judgement comes
No fury will I see
‘Cause your boundless love took a guilty man
And pronounced him free
You could have kept him for yourself
You had the power
The mortal mind would never know
Until it was too late
You gave us rope to hang ourselves
And then you cut it
With the blood of your own Son
That you nailed to a tree
