    Lyrics:
    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.
    Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
    Though like a 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.
    Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
    Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
    Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I fly,
    Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
    Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
    Lyrics by Francis of Assisi (1225)
    Music by Geistliche Kirchengesang (1623)

      Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (Godstime MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2349015354725) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life. God bless you....

      Friend I hope you will continue to search and study in depth with all your heart because Jesus is the prophesied Messiah, Savior, and atoning one for all who come to God through Him and his invitation and sacrifice extends to all. Because God deems Him to be worthy of the obedience of all as the compensation of all his sufferings and obedience to God and this has been given to him to be seated at the right hand until all bow the knee.
      Grace of our Lord Jesus be visited to you and the privelege of knowing the risen Savior by sanctification of the Holy Spirit.
