Acapeldridge performs the classic hymn 'Nearer, My God, to Thee,' a song of deep devotion and longing for closeness with God. The lyrics express a desire to draw nearer to God even through trials, symbolized by a cross, and in times of darkness or joy. The refrain repeats the central plea for intimacy with the divine. The hymn reflects a heart that seeks God above all circumstances, whether in suffering or in joyful ascent. It is a timeless expression of faith and surrender, often associated with comfort and hope in difficult moments.
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
E?en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
Refrain:
Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
Darkness be over me, my rest a stone;
Yet in my dreams I?d be nearer, my God, to Thee.
Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I?ll fly,
Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
