Fire-starter Hymn Meditation

If our heart is desperately wicked the only thing to cleanse it is the blood of Jesus. The only way to keep it clean is to stay close to God.  James 4:8

Near To The Heart Of God

Cleland B. McAfee


1

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.


Refrain:

O Jesus, blest Redeemer,

Sent from the heart of God;

Hold us, who wait before Thee,

Near to the heart of God.


2

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.


3

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.
