243. I Am Thine, O Lord 引我更親近
Another well known hymn classic we often sing in church. We are His chosen people and we should be able to hear His voice. He speaks to us through sermons and His words in the Bible, declaring His love and mercy to all those believe and follow His way. When we kneel down to pray, we draw ourselves closer to Him. Commune like friend with friend. This hymn is not difficult to learn. Left hand has more notes and chords making this hymn more richer in sound. Why not try it yourself.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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!
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.
There are depths of love that I cannot know Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach Till I rest in peace with Thee.
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.
