Soldier Worships And Sings ‘Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross’

Jelesa McRae, a soldier in the American army, finds strength in her faith. While in her vehicle, wearing her uniform, she sings a powerful rendition of ‘Jesus Keep Me Near The Cross.’

Jesus, keep me near the cross,
There a precious fountain,
Free to all—a healing stream,
Flows from Calv’ry’s mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,
Be my glory ever;
From the cross my ransomed soul
Nothing then shall sever.

Our military members often face tough challenges and, like McRae, they find ways to remain strong through faith. McRae’s performance encourages us to keep them and their families in our thoughts and prayers.

Verse of the Day

“[Glory in the Highest] Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid. Then the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid, for behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy which will be to all people. For there is born to you this day in the city of David a Savior, who is Christ the Lord.”

Luke 2:8-11
