Píseň: Nearer To Thee

Interpret:: Sam Cooke
Album:: In The Beginning

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 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 good to thee, nearer, nearer to thee


 We kept on singing: nearer my Lord to thee


 Songs have a feeling
 there is a story in every song we sing
 Songs that are known to lift heave burdens
 if all of our troubles, god we all _____


 And if we Christians we ought not to be ashamed
 to lift our voices in our Jesus' his name
 We ought to be able to sing, nearer my God to thee


 Lift our voices and sing, nearer, nearer


 I want to get nearer to thee
 When I got lonely I can sing nearer my God to thee
 I just bow down and say nearer to thee
 Nearer my God to thee
