I Am Thine, O Lord | Christian Song Lyrics | Yeshu Geets

 Verse 1

I am Thine, O Lord,

I have heard Thy voice,

And it told Thy love to me;

But I long to rise

In the arms of faith,

And be closer drawn to Thee.

Chorus

Draw me nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side!

Verse 2

Consecrate me now

To Thy service, Lord,

By the pow’r of grace divine;

Let my soul look up

With a steadfast hope,

And my will be lost in Thine.

Chorus

Draw me nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side!

Verse 3

O the pure delight

Of a single hour

That before Thy throne I spend,

When I kneel in prayer,

And with Thee, my God,

I commune as friend with friend!

Chorus

Draw me nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side!

Verse 4

There are depths of love

That I yet may know

‘Ere Thee face to face I see;

There are heights of joy

That I yet may reach

‘Ere I rest in peace with Thee.

Chorus

Draw me nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To the cross where Thou hast died;

Draw me nearer, nearer,

Nearer, blessed Lord,

To Thy precious, bleeding side!
