DESCRIPTION:
GIVE ME JESUS (from the "Need" album)
Music by Todd Agnew,
Lyrics by Frances "Fanny" J. Crosby (1820-1915),
Chorus is from the Scripture: Ephesians 3:18-19
And without further ado, the lyrics:
Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abides forever
Through eternal years the same
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my Savior watching over me
I can sing though billows roll
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world, but give me Jesus
In His cross my trust shall be
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face my Lord I'll finally see
Oh, the height and the depth of mercy
Oh, the length and the breadth of His love
Oh, the fullness of redemption
Promised from above
Take the world, but give me Jesus
About Fanny Crosby: She loved Jesus and wrote over 8000 hymns even though she was blind, including "Blessed Assurance", "To God Be the Glory" and "Praise Him! Praise Him!"
About the pictures: Most are from the internet,
but several are my own and then two are my
daughter's pictures of Uganda where she lives. The one of the big brown-eyed little girl is our darling, Selah.
