Judith Gayle Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

What you think about Jesus
He's all right
Ohh, What you think about Jesus
He's all right
He's all right, all right, all right
Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When all my friends would say to me
Looks like hope is lost
I call the name of Jesus
In whom my future lies
When my soul is cast down
And my way looks dark
He softly comes in a whisper
"Child your future is bright"
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When all my friends would say to me
Looks like hope is lost
I call the name of Jesus
In whom my future lies
When my soul is cast down
And my way looks dark
He softly comes in a whisper
"Child your future is bright"
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When my friends are gone, You Give Me Jesus
I got no food on my table, Give Me Jesus
I got no shoes on my feet, You Give Me Jesus
No roof over my head, You Give Me Jesus
No clothes on my body, Give Me Jesus
My parents are gone, Give Me Jesus
Friends forsaken, Give Me Jesus
I got no money in my pocket, Give Me Jesus???????, You Give Me Jesus
World is living in fear, Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Give Me Jesus
Give Me Jesus
