Nearer My God To Thee
Al Green

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 [Incomprehensible]

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
