André is a good con-artist, or a believing Christian trying to get a message across to his audience. He may have to stay within certain "secular" guidelines to get his performances okayed, but, nevertheless, his music glorifies God. I didn't even know the words to the song, and yet, it moved me profoundly.
G D7 Em C G D - Nearer, my God, to Thee, nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - E’en though it be a cross that raiseth me,
G C G G C G D G D7 - Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D - Though like the wanderer, the sun gone down,
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - Darkness be over me, my rest a stone.
G C G G C G D G D7 - Yet in my dreams I’d be nearer, my God to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D - There let the way appear, steps unto Heav’n;
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - All that Thou sendest me, in mercy given;
G C G G C G D G D7 - Angels to beckon me nearer, my God, to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D - Then, with my waking thoughts bright with Thy praise,
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - Out of my stony griefs Bethel I’ll raise;
G C G G C G D G D7 - So by my woes to be nearer, my God, to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D - Or, if on joyful wing cleaving the sky,
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - Sun, moon, and stars forgot, upward I’ll fly,
G C G G C G D G D7 - Still all my song shall be, nearer, my God, to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee!
G D7 Em C G D - There in my Father’s home, safe and at rest,
G D7 Em C G D D7 G - There in my Savior’s love, perfectly blest;
G C G G C G D G D7 - Age after age to be, nearer my God to Thee.
G D7 Em C - Nearer, my God, to Thee,
G D D7 G - Nearer to Thee.
