"Give Me Jesus" | Tommy Walker (from Generation Hymns 3)

To quote Eileen Guenther [Professor of Church Music at Wesley Theological Seminary] “Spirituals affirm a complete trust in God to make right in the next world what was done wrong in this world.” She also describes Spirituals as a powerful and beautiful music form which communicates both sorrow and hope.

The Spiritual/hymn, “Give Me Jesus,” is no exception. I am always so moved by how it both reminds me of the meaninglessness of this world while simultaneously calling me to a surrendered life in Christ. My added vamp is simply a way of extending the blessing to this wonderful song!

This song features my daughter Eileen Walker, Jovaun Woods, and Linda McCrary who all sang so beautifully!!

Ephesians 1:7 NIV “In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace”

WE ARE PLEASED TO OFFER FREE RESOURCES FOR THIS SONG!
