MUM'S WALL
MUM'S WALL
MRS. ADESOLA AGBEKE MARGARET OBILADE (21 JULY 1942____Â 19 MARCH, 2020)
I am Thine, O Lord, I have heard Thy voice,
And it told Thy love to me;
But I long to rise in the arms of faith
And be closer drawn to Thee.
Refrain
Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To the cross where Thou hast died.
Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord,
To Thy precious, bleeding side.
Consecrate me now to Thy service, Lord,
By the power of grace divine;
Let my soul look up with a steadfast hope,
And my will be lost in Thine.
Refrain
O the pure delight of a single hour
That before Thy throne I spend,
When I kneel in prayer, and with Thee, my God
I commune as friend with friend!
Refrain
There are depths of love that I cannot know
Till I cross the narrow sea;
There are heights of joy that I may not reach
Till I rest in peace with Thee.
Refrain
Written by Fanny Crosby in 1875
As the words of the hymn (taken from Hebrews 10:22), Draw me nearer, nearer blessèd Lord, To the cross where Thou hast died. Draw me nearer, nearer, nearer blessèd Lord, To Thy precious, bleeding side, Mrs. Adesola Agbeke Margaret Obilade (nee Sobanjo) was drawn nearer to her LORD and personal saviour on the 19th of March 2020 in Ottawa, Canada.
