Near to the Heart of God

Psalm 73:28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord God, that I may declare all thy works.

Believers can have an intimate relationship with Jesus because we love Him.  


To be near His heart is peace and rest. 


Near to the Heart of God

_________________________


There is a place of quiet rest,  —  Near to the heart of God;  —  A place where sin cannot molest,    —    Near to the heart of God.


CHORUS:

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,  —  Sent from the heart of God;  —  Hold us, who wait before Thee,    —    Near to the heart of God.


There is a place of comfort sweet, — Near to the heart of God; — A place where we our Savior meet,    —    Near to the heart of God.


There is a place of full release,  — Near to the heart of God;  —  A place where all is joy and peace,    —    Near to the heart of God.


Cleland A. McAfee   1903
