And it told Thy love to me.
But I long to rise in the arms of faith,
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Chorus:
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.
2 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. [Chorus]
3 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! [Chorus]
4 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. [Chorus] Topics: Commitment, Dedication, Consecration, Devotion; Surrender, Submission Used With Tune: I AM THINE
I Am Thine, O Lord
