Nearer To Thee

Nearer To Thee - Cooke/Sam Cooke (山姆·庫克)

The minister was preaching

And the crowd was standing near

The congregation was singing a tune

In a voice that was loud and clear

You know the crowd that stood around him

They were crying I could plainly see

For the song that they sang was touching

They were singing 'Nearer My God To Thee'

O nearer my God to Thee nearer nearer to Thee

We kept on singing nearer my God nearer my God to Thee

Oh Lord we kept on singing nearer

Nearer my God nearer nearer to Thee

They kept on singing nearer my my God nearer my God to Thee

Oh yes nearer nearer

Songs have a feeling

There's a story in every song we sing

Songs that are known to lift heavy burdens

If all of our troubles to God we oughta bring

And if we are Christians we ought not to be ashamed

To lift our voices admire Jesus' name

We ought to be able to sing nearer nearer my God to Thee

Oh help me Lord lift our voices and sing nearer nearer nearer yes

Nearer I want to get nearer to Thee

When I get lonely I can sing nearer

Nearer my God to Thee yes I can

I just bow down and say nearer and nearer nearer

Nearer my God to Thee nearer nearer my God to Thee
