I Am Thine O Lord

Songwriter/Composer/Translator Fanny Crosby

G    D                     G
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice
       C                G
And it told Thy love to me
      D                   G
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
       Am     D        G
And be closer drawn to Thee
 
        G       G7      C              G
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessed Lord
       C           Am        D    D7
To the cross where Thou hast died
        G       G7      C               Am
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer, blessed Lord
       G         D7       G    C   G
To Thy precious, bleeding side

Draw me nearer...
 
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

Draw me nearer...

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

Draw me nearer...

There are depths of love that I yet may know
Ere Thee face to face I see
There are heights of joy that I yet may reach
Ere I rest in peace with Thee

Draw me nearer...
