CHORUS
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE,
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE.
NEARER MY GOD TO THEE.
NEARER TO THEE.
REC I
YES NEARER MY GOD TO THEE, I CAN REMEMBER
IN THE DAYS GONE BY, WHEN WE WOULD GATHER
AROUND AN OLD FASHION ALTER. WHEN GOD'S
PEOPLE WITH A HEART FULL OF LOVE PRAYING
FOR ONE ANOTHER, AND A LOST AND DYING WORLD
GOING DOWN IN DESPAIR LOST WITHOUT A SAVIOR
BUT SEEMINGLY IT'S NOT THAT WAY ANYMORE
SATAN HAS COME INTO OUR LIVES, AND
WITH HIS EVIL SPIRIT AND HIS PERSUASION
HAS DIVIDED OUR CHURCHES SET NEIGHBOR
AGAINST NEIGHBOR, AND WITH ALL THE TROUBLES
WE HAVE TO ADMIT THERE HAS BEEN AN AWFUL
CHANGE. BUT DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART WORDS
THAT STILL LINGER, YOU'LL FIND IT WRITTEN
IN GOD'S HOLY BIBLE MY LORD DOESN'T CHANGE
HE'S THE SAME YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER
MORE IF WE'D ONLY BE HONEST AND SAY LORD
IF THERE'S BEEN A CHANGE IT'S ME.
REC II
WHY I CAN REMEMBER IN MY OWN HOME CHURCH
WHEN THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD WOULD BE SO
STRONG PEOPLE PRAYING SHOUTING AND TESTIFYING
AND SOULS A BEING SAVED THERE WERE
TIMES WHEN OUR PASTOR WOULDN'T EVEN GET
TO PREACH BUT WITH AN HUMBLE SPIRIT AND AS
THE TEARS WOULD FALL FROM HIS CHEEKS WE'D
HEAR HIM SAY NOW MIND THE LORD CHRISTIANS
JESUS IS HEAR NOW AND WITH YOU DOING LIKE
YOU FEEL HE'D HAVE YOU TO DO I BELIEVE
WE'LL SEE MANY SOULS BORN INTO THE KINGDOM
BUT WE SAY WE CAN'T HAVE SERVICES LIKE THAT
ANY MORE THEM DAYS HAVE ALL COME AND GONE
BUT DEEP DOWN IN MY HEART WORDS THAT STILL
LINGER YOU'LL FIND IT WRITTEN IN GOD'S HOLY
BIBLE MY LORD DOESN'T CHANGE HE'S THE SAME
YESTERDAY TODAY AND FOREVER MORE SO LET'S
BE HONEST WITH HIM AND SAY LORD IF THERE'S
BEEN ANY CHANGE IT'S ME.
