Nearer My God To Thee Lyrics - 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
