Give Me Jesus (a negro spiritual) - sung by Jack Marti

A little over a year ago I uploaded a video I did of this song, and recently I tried to view it because I was going to send it to a friend of mine, but as I was waiting for it to load a message appeared which said "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." I thought, well, that will resolve itself in a few days. So, every few days I would attempt to view it again to see if the problem had been resolved, but I still got the same message. So I decided to make another video of the same song, ergo this video. Now that I've uploaded this one, it turns out the other one is now viewable! Go figure....

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

Dark midnight was my cry
Dark midnight was my cry
Dark midnight was my cry
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus...

Then I heard my mother say
Yes, I heard my mother say
Oh, I heard my mother say
Give me Jesus

Give me Jesus...

And when I am alone
And when I am alone
And when I am alone, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus...

And when I come to die
Yes, when I come to die
Oh, when I come to die, give me Jesus

Just about the break of day
Just about the break of day
Just about the break of day
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
