“Give Me Jesus”

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,
But give me Jesus
 
And when I am alone
Oh and when I am alone
And when I am alone, give me Jesus
 
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus
 
And when I come to die
Oh and when I come to die
And when I come to die, give me Jesus
 
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus
