Al Green - Nearer My God To Thee lyrics

Nearer, nearer The minister was preaching And the crowd was standing near The congregation sang in a tune In the hall, it was loud and clear All of the crowd that stood all around him They were crying as I could plainly see Oh, the songs that they sang was so touching They were singing to my God to Thee Nearer my God to thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Kept on singing Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Sometimes, I like to be in company But when I get out, I like to stay out for long Song is the only thing that can control me, Lord When I know trouble, trouble's about to come I fall down on my knees and call God late at night And I know He'll make my, my burdens alright I tell him, Lord, I have a desire to be Nearer, nearer my God to Thee, Alleluia Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee I remember I was a little boy Mother still used to [?] I used to wonder what my mother was doing, have mercy, Lord I stepped out one morning found mother all folded up And mother had to rise up, she was looking towards the sky And I saw the tears as they fell down my mothers eyes And I can still hear the song mother was singing Nearer my God to Thee Nearer my God to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee, nearer to Thee Nearer to Thee
