Jesus keep me near the cross (Jesus keep me, Jesus keep me near the cross)
There a precious fountain (There a fountain and it's free)
Free to all, a healing stream (and it's free to all, it's a healing stream)
Flows from Calvary's mountain (Calvary, and it flows from Calvary)

In the cross, in the cross (oh, be my glory)
Be my glory ever (glory ever, till my raptured soul)
Till my raptured soul shall find (I'm gonna find it, gonna find rest beyond
Rest beyond the river (gonna find it, I see it beyond the river)

Take a look can you see it'
It's just beyond the river

Near the cross I'll watch and wait (near the cross I'll watch for your haste)
Hoping, trusting ever (I will see the hope, I'll always trust)
Till I reach the golden strand (Till I reach, till I reach the golden strand)
Just beyond the river

(I just wanna be)
In the cross, in the cross (I just wanna be, oh)
Be my glory ever (gonna be, gonna be my glory)
Till my raptured soul shall find (till my, till my soul shall find)
Rest beyond the river (rest beyond the river)
Rest beyond the river

Keep me near the cross
I'll be watching, I'll be waiting
For my hope is in Him
I'll be trusting near the cross
It's free to all
It's free to all
It's a healing stream
Keep me near the cross
