Near the Cross - The Petersens (LIVE)

Показать описание

Good Friday at home may not be what we are used to or prefer, but we're so thankful we can still gather together virtually and sing this song for y'all! Emmett sounds real nice on "Near the Cross," and it's a beautiful reminder of God's love.

This was our favorite hymn we performed when we were in Finland last summer. We performed at a festival and this happened to be their favorite song! They sang along with us when we performed it only they were singing in Swedish and Finnish. Special memories for sure :)

►LYRICS - Near the Cross
Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain

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
Shed its beam around me

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

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

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river [x2]

*LYRICS - Near the Cross*

Jesus keep me near the cross
There a precious fountain
Free to all, a healing stream
Flows from Calv'ry's mountain

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
Shed its beam around me

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

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

In the cross, in the cross
Be my glory ever
Till my raptured soul shall find
Rest beyond the river [x2]

WONDERFUL I'M ALMOST 80 YRS. OLD AND THIS IS SOUNDING BETTER AND BETTER THE CLOSER I GET TO GOING HOME E. Johnson

This song makes me think of a wonderful dad of 4 young children at our church who passed away suddenly in February 2022. He was a wonderful man, a great singer, the first person that welcomed us to the church when we were new to the state and had two small children of our own. Love you Nathan. Praise God you’re home with our Great Redeemer.

Thanks for rewarding Emmett by letting him be the lead vocalist. I think he did a great job.

Perfect song for Good Friday. If you doubt the seriousness of sin, look to the cross. If you doubt God’s love, look to the cross.

I’m a guy who’s a hard rock listener but there is something when good musicians are good at their craft it makes any genre enjoyable to listen to.👍

The King of the Dobro has a great voice!

The blend of Ellen, Katie, and Emmett's voices is amazing!

The sun is quietly preparing for sunset, the shadows slowly begin to lengthen before uniting in the twilight and, in this bucolic calm of an emerging spring, strings vibrate then voices rise.
What is this sweet thrill?
Hush! It is The Petersens responds an attentive angel.

OOOH the accapella at the end... chills.

Memories flooded my eyes. Time travel to my youth. All my old friends, Pastor, Mom & Dad all long gone in a moment returned to visit my soul - Petersens, Thank you!

My mother is in hospice and I am a musician. She's very devout, I'm more of a doubting Thomas. But I remember some of the hymns that she loved and this was one. I used your video to learn the song (playing piano but I'm lucky to have a good ear). I followed it with Amazing Grace. She had such a look of peace. So I guess I'm saying thanks for recording a lesser known hymn. Your version is absolutely beautiful.
