“Near the Cross” Jesus, keep me near the cross, There’s a precious fountain Free to all, a healing stream Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

Refrain: In the cross, in the cross, Be my glory ever; Till my raptured soul shall find Rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul, Love and Mercy found me; There the bright and morning star Sheds its beams around me.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God, Bring its scenes before me; Help me walk from day to day, With its shadows o’er me.

Near the cross I’ll watch and wait Hoping, trusting ever, Till I reach the golden strand, Just beyond the river.

To my dear wife who departed in death to her new home in heaven, you were a really wonderful person. We were married for 36 wonderful years. She accepted Christ and dedicated her life to serving Him. I was holding her left hand, and her daughter holding her right hand, when she took her last breath. She was at peace through it all.

May she rest in peace.

Love, Winston
