Such a wonderful song! It made me think about what I truly want, and it's true -- I would rather have Jesus than "all this world". "Give me Jesus" so that, when my time comes, I will be able to look into the eyes of God and say "I chose You!"

I truly believe that this will become my motto for life. I'm a Christian from the age of 3 and will be a Follower of the One and Only God until the day I die ... and forever after!
