Give Me Jesus!

There are no words to adequately state how much I love this song, Give Me Jesus, by Fernando Ortega.

The video above was produced as a tribute to Ruth Bell Graham's life. You can find info about the entire 2 DVD tribute to her life here. (It is excellent!) Ruth is my (Titus 2:4) older-woman mentor, and one of the wisest women I have ever been blessed with to try & learn from, albeit from afar. I owe so much gratitude to this lovely woman even though she's in Heaven now...her life she lived as a Godly wife & mother remains such an ongoing example to me. What a sweet, gracious lady she was...always living her life for her precious Saviour.

Makes me think of the old hymn, by Will Thompson, called Jesus is All the World to Me. May He be all the world to you, as well!

Jesus is all the world to me, my life, my joy, my all;
He is my strength from day to day, without Him I would fall.
When I am sad, to Him I go, no other one can cheer me so;
When I am sad, He makes me glad, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, my Friend in trials sore;
I go to Him for blessings, and He gives them over and o’er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain, He sends the harvest’s golden grain;
Sunshine and rain, harvest of grain, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, and true to Him I’ll be;
O how could I this Friend deny, when He’s so true to me?
Following Him I know I’m right, He watches o’er me day and night;
Following Him by day and night, He’s my Friend.

Jesus is all the world to me, I want no better Friend;
I trust Him now, I’ll trust Him when life’s fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a Friend, beautiful life that has no end;
Eternal life, eternal joy, He’s my Friend.

Give Me Jesus!
