Give Me Jesus

On Sunday, our music director sang the song "Give Me Jesus." I had never heard it before, but it was beautiful and she sang it beautifully. The song doesn't have many words, but the simplicity of the words directed my attention to the message - I just want Jesus. Not often am I moved to tears by a solo in church, but I was on Sunday. I found a video on YouTube so you could at least listen to the song. (Some of the pics on the video are dumb in my opinion!)

In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise,
In the morning when I rise
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus

You can have all this world
Just give me Jesus

When I am alone,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
Give me Jesus

[CHORUS]

When I come to die,
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
Give me Jesus

[CHORUS 2x]

Sometimes the most simplistic is the best! That is Fernando Ortega's rendition... which I think is the best. Like Joey Huggins once said in a sermon, "If you were to leave Christ, where would you go, who would you run to?" There's no one, nothing but Jesus. Give me Jesus. Thanks for posting this. Great reminder
