Fanny Crosby
Give Me Jesus
[Verse 1]
Take the world, but give me Jesus
All its joys are but a name
But His love abideth ever
Through eternal years the same
[Verse 2]
Take the world, but give me Jesus
Sweetest comfort of my soul
With my Savior watching o'er me
I can sing, though billows roll
[Chorus]
And oh, the height and depth of mercy
Oh, the length and breadth of love
And oh, the fullness of redemption
Pledge of endless life above
Pledge of endless life above!
[Verse 3]
Take the world, but give me Jesus
In His cross, my trust shall be
Till, with clearer, brighter vision
Face to face, my Lord I see
[Chorus]
And oh, the height and depth of mercy
Oh, the length and breadth of love
And oh, the fullness of redemption
Pledge of endless life above
Pledge of endless life above!
[Bridge]
Take the world, take the world, take the world
Take the world, but please don't take Jesus
[Chorus]
And oh, the height and depth of mercy
Oh, the length and breadth of love
And oh, the fullness of redemption
Pledge of endless life above
Pledge of endless life above!
[Turn]
[Outro]
And oh, the height and depth (take the world)
And oh, the length and breadth (take the world)
Oh, the height and depth (take the world)
Oh, the length and breadth (take the world)
And oh, the height and depth (take the world)
And oh, the length and breadth (take the world)
Oh, the height and depth…
