Song information

Artist: Nina Simone
Album: Let It All Out

Lyrics

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, blessed lord
To thy precious, bleeding side

Consecrate me now to thy service
By the power 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, blessed lord
To thy precious, bleeding side

My soul look up with a steadfast hope
My will be lost in thine

So draw me nearer, nearer, blessed lord
To the cross where thou hast died;
Draw me nearer, nearer, blessed lord
To thy precious, bleeding side
