“Closer, oh God, to you I want to dwell; even if they have to lift me up on a cross”, this must be a resounding hymn on the lips of every Christian, and surely it was on the lips of all those Christians of the past who gave their lives for the cause of Christ.
The Christian song “Nearer my God Thee” tells us exactly about this, that no matter the situation we find ourselves in, that will simply bring us closer to Christ our Lord. This beautiful song was written by Sarah F. Adams in the year 1840 and has been part of hymnals of various denominations.
