In the morning when I rise
Oh 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
Oh when I am alone
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Just give me Jesus
When I come to die
When I come to die
Oh when I come to die
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
Give me Jesus
You can have all this world
Just give me Jesus
Such a beautiful song. I played this song over and over in the days leading up to JBs funeral. This song will probably always remind me of him. In those days, I just focused on the last verse. As I sat in the hospital with JB the week before his death, all he wanted was his Jesus. Nothing else mattered to him but his Jesus. Jesus was everything to him. But now almost two months later I can see that this song is a great testimony of JBs life. When he woke in the morning, he wanted his Jesus. When he was alone, and he was a lot, he wanted his Jesus. JB was very private about his illness. He didn't want to burden anyone. This attitude left him alone, by his own choosing, a lot. He chose not to lean on the comfort of friends but on his sweet Jesus. And finally, when God home, and delivered him from the pain that cancer held on his body, he wanted his Jesus. Oh I pray, that our Savior is gracious enough to allow me to develop that kind of relationship with Him.
