You can have all this world, but give me Jesus. // Steffany Gretzinger and Jeremy Riddle remind us to put our focus only on Him in this moment of worship at Bethel Church in Redding, CA. He is our song of desire.
This hymn originated in the pre-Civil War South. It was sung by African American slaves as an expression of Hope. They knew God was the only true source of healing and restoration. I love this song. It expresses the steadfast faith of our past sisters and brothers, who in spite of their suffering and oppression, never faltered in their love for Jesus.
Wow, thank you for sharing that information with us brother Dustin. I looked up "Give me Jesus Hymn on google and yep you are correct (not that I doubted you or anything, just wanted to know more!) Here is some links I'd like to share: hymnary.org/text/in_the_morning_when_i_rise_in_the_morn www.umcdiscipleship.org/resources/history-of-hymns-give-me-jesus Also, there's some videos that I had scrolled passed from RU-vid that can be checked out also! Just realized this comment was made a year ago, Hope I'm not too late! God bless you!
I heard the Lord say where your heart is that is where your treasure will be. Lord let our heart burn for you and only you. Why? because you're so faithful and loving in the name of Jesus. I tasted and saw that the Lord was good but he only gets better over time. He's worth it my brothers and sisters. Glory to God!
My parents became barren after they gave birth to their first child which passed away a couple of months later, concerning their lack of production after they actually had given birth to the first child was caused by satanic activities. As Christians, they had to consult a pastor, hoping that jesus could make what seemed to be impossible, possible, thenafter they were prayed for, months later my mom found out that she was pregnant by me, I was born through his name (Jesus). As for me growing up realizing how blessed I am, I also face deadly challenges and I've been recently wrestling with the spirit of Antichrist, I mean like the devil literally had been fighting for my soul, trying so hard to convince me that God isn't real, I mean how ridiculous is that?, so whenever I had those thoughts I would get here and listen to this song, the devil is the #LOSER, and I will forever be a child of God:).
I’m struggling with addiction right now, and this is all I want(You can have all this world but give me Jesus!) There are some days I just wish I didn’t have to deal with it, but it’s a constant battle. I have faith and complete belief that God will pull me through! I will continue to believe and seek him!
bes avlis never give up. Ever. No matter how hard it seems. Jesus is the name above all names. It’s even above the name ‘addiction’. Call on His name always. #usetobeaddictedtoo.
To anybody who's reading this, I pray that whatever is hurting you or whatever you are constantly stressing about gets better. May the dark thoughts, the overthinking, and the doubt exit your mind right now. May clarity replace confusion. May peace and calmness fill your life. Amen.💕
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
This cry of worship will forever touch my heart. Steffany has an amazing anointing of God and i pray that God continues to use her and this ministry more day by day
Everyone who's scrolling and listening, I pray that God visit your home with healing, blessings and miracles, hope you live a healthy and joyful life ❤
*I'm praying for everyone who needs a Miracle. Only God can do the impossible, He can make a way when there seems to be no way. I pray God touches your health, your home, your family, your faith, and your finances. Amen!*
Greatest man in history, had no servants, yet they called him Master. Had no degree, yet they called him Teacher. Had no medicines, yet they called him Healer. He had no army, yet kings feared Him. He won no military battles, yet He conquered the world. He committed no crime, yet they crucified Him. He was buried in a tomb, yet He lives today🙏🏻. His name is Jesus.❤
Give me Jesus Give me Jesus You can have all this world But give me Jesus But give me Jesus Give me the one my soul delights in Give me the one in whom my hope is securely found Give me the one in whom my hope is securely found Securely found Securely found Give me the one my soul delights in Give me the one in whom my hope is securely found Give me the one in whom my hope is securely found Securely found Securely found Securely found Securely found Give me Jesus Give me Jesus You can have all this world But give me Jesus
Everyday again and again i am coming to understanding that HE IS ALL I NEED, HE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH, ONLY JESUS can fill my heart and complete me, Only JESUS! I pray for Your children Father, that we seek YOU with all our hearts and come to realization that YOU ARE EVERYTHING! That You truly in the Throne of our lifes, JESUS. There is nothing in this world that we love more than you, even our families, children, parents, hobbies.. nothing! ONLY JESUS!!! Please have it all and give me JESUS!
Steffany reminded me of myself, as that 5 year old a little girl I was, praying with my grandmom. I was raised as a Christian and had some time off believing, trusting, praying- teenage years. Now I'm 23. Year ago I started believing again. Like for real. I know Jesus is my savior, has always been. God above all things, He is, we believe it or not... And I know in my heart, there's something magical & there was something when I was about 5 years old on my knees, now 23 praying late after work before going to sleep. There IS something... There is everything! There is His guidance, His heart... His beautiful, always loving heart.
I cannot tell you how deeply this song means to me. To anyone who reads this in desperation for Jesus. His light brought me through the darkest of days. I was diagnosed with chronic anxiety, depression and insomnia, and Jesus won the victory. I still cry listening to this song, because it helped me through that time, and every time my heart is filled with pleasure and love for my king. I would go through it all again for another glimpse of my Heavenly Father.
People are either heading to heaven or hell. My heart breaks knowing people are heading to hell and they don't even know it. I want to be an ambassador of Christ and share the gospel everywhere and everyone i encounter. Anoint me father, speak through me. This world is fallen and fading and your coming back soon. I want no one to perish. I Pray lord you will raise other's up, laborers of love to be witnesses and example spreading the good news. Jesus saves! Just give me Jesus. All I want is you Jesus! ❤
Stephanie G has a anointed voice and she is using it to give back to God. She is a true worshipper!!!!! She knows how to set the atomsphere to invite the presence of God. She is truly a blessing to all who hear her sing praises to God. I pray she continues to sing and never let the fire in her heart never go out!!!! May it only grow brighter and reach more people and change lives. You can hear and feel her passion and love for Jesus. See, God sang over her before she was conceived......now she is singing back to Him. Sing on beautiful song bird!!!!!! Sing to the one who loves you more than life.
The Lord gave me a second chance in life that I don't even deserve😢😢Him being soo loving and caring,a father who is Merciful and quick to forgive 😢😢My life is not my own but Christ is the Author of it all..
So so so beautiful, Steffany's heart for God radiates through every single word sang and the way she breaks down at the end! Beautiful heart of worship. The depths of intimacy this song has stewarded me into - God bless Bethel

Fighting covid 19 & pneumonia 17 days And went home healed singing this song in my hospital bed in worship. “We were made for you ONLY JESUS, you can have it all (Lord have mercy)nothing else will do. Gotta have YOU..Give me Jesus..unafraid to cry out for Jesus HalleluYAH the song of desire Ohhh Jesus.. give me the 1 my soul delights in give me the 1 in whom my hope is securely found. He Healed me!!!🙏it’s you Lord”.
I hope when you left the hospital , you are forever changed (Spiritually) it sounds like you’ve already got the fire going And above all PRAISE GOD FOR HEALING!
this has been my fav song to worship in alone time, and I've forgotten it for a while but it never fails to remind me how needy i am to Him. Especially in this quarantine time, i haven't gone to church for two weeks now and I'm very thankful for online church but we all know it feels different. I believe that there's a big purpose beyond our understanding planted behind this pandemi. it is not easy to keep the fire burning every day especially in this very concerning time but let us use this opportunity to be as vulnerable as we can to Him and just pray for everything that's happening so that His name can be glorified through it all.
Dear lord, i pray that you give the person reading this the strength and motivation to get through whatever they are going through, let them know that their loved and for them to gain happiness through you my lord AMEN!!!!
As I enter 2023, GIVE ME JESUS. I used to listen to this song in 2018 and 2019 almost everyday and it started ringing in my head now (31 December 2022 23:45pm)😍
This song has me in a FULL WEEP!!! Thankful that Jesus has been with me in 2016! I've learned so much, but the most valuable was to love and appreciate the presence of God. He has been my safe place, my hiding place, and he's built me up when I was torn down. This song ministers to that place in my heart that longs for Jesus, our risen savior! Hallelujah!
I don't know who's reads this, God will give you a testimony that will shock all your enemies & those who never believe in you will celebrate with you in Jesus' Name.Amen
My God your amazing Lord your wonderful your awesome your Holy the human mind just can’t express how amazing and wondrous you are God and God you are alone we give you our hearts and our minds oh God we just want you. How easy it is to get caught up in work and raising children and pastoring and the responsibilities of this life that we forget spending quality time with you but Lord we come to you and we cry that you would give us just you. Your worthy oh God you are alpha and omega your the beginning and the end your the lily in the valley your our first love and our everlasting father and we give you glory and honor for it belongs to no one else but you Lord
Nothing else matters in this world. After all is said and done, He never fails. If you depend on Him, He will never fail you. Let us with an open heart receive Him. Jesus is all we need in this world.
I remember crying the first time I watched this video😭😭...she's not singing from her own strength but through the Holy Spirit that flows through her. Her music always makes me feel close to Jesus..... Thank you 😊
Lord, help us prepare our hearts for Your coming, You are arriving and there is no door that will be able to withstand Your Presence, Breathe Spirit of Our Lord Jesus through us, Thank You Father,
I want only Jesus I want only you Jesus Christ. Thank you for touching hearts hearing our cries. Devil can't have me. Jesus is the one and only who own me. Love you Jesus Christ
Right now in this time of uncertainty and fear of the future...I try to find joy in funny videos to lifts my spirits and clear my fears...but it is to no avail! The only one who can bring peace and joy during this time in Jesus, Father God and the Holy Spirit! I would not be able to find peace and joy without them! You can have everything! I just want Jesus! The keeper of peace and bringer of joy!🤗
Niasiah Stevens The God of peace is with you and will guide you. Ask the Holy Spirit to allow discernment and make every confusing way straight for you. You are in my prayers and your situation is in God’s hands!! ❤️
....this is my daily prayer...worship in its true form JESUS is the truth nd the light bless GOD for ur spirit continue to stand flat footed on his word, love, nd peace
Lord our God, You reign over COVID-19, You reign over these hate crimes and vandalism that is going on in the world right now! I will keep my eyes on You, making time to be be in your presence each day seeking guidance and direction from You, and reading Your word for it is instruction for godly living. I praise You God for you reign over each day 🙌🏽
What I have with Jesus last forever. Everything else shall pass away. Jesus you all that matters in this journey called life. I am complete in you Jesus the head of all principalities
Growing up my dad has always been my best friend we recently lost him to cancer and ever since his diagnosis I have had a resentment towards God. Something told me to listen to this song and I feel a feeling of security a feeling my father always provided I didn't think I would feel safe and loved again thank you God🥺
I just speak peace over you right now, and I speak the goodness of God over your life, and to all your questions fears and doubts I speak Jesus. He truly is the answer to all of our questions. He’s truly all we need, and I hope and pray that you would lay it all at the feet of Jesus. Amen 🙏🏽
Iam a father with a very big emotional hart and one child, I would like to have more, but that was not possible through medical restrictions of my wive.. If I heard you speak out like this, for example in church, I would give you a hug. I would think of what I could do to help with your pain.. Your pain.. it hurts just to read it..its simply to hard to bear, no matter how old you are! Please don’t be hard at yourself. I want to compliment you for speaking out! Writing this reaction. That takes courage! See! Already you are strong! Now I can try to support you a little bit. Keep doing so and others will help you to! If you need support keep asking for support around you! But seek your support wisely and safely in the right places. For example by people you really trust in church. It will take many years of time.. but you will get stronger every year. Take a good peaceful walk through nature when you feel down.. and nature will become a friend for you, that will never go away. And furthermore be good for yourself. If there is one that understands you than it is God. He did not want this for the World.. That’s why he send his Son. Only you know the depth of your pain. In the future, when you are strong enough, take your pain and let it become a strength, a different form of intelligence, an arrow of goodness for Gods Kingdom. To help others with simular grief, reaching their goals with their talents. Others that feel alone in their grief. Only you will understand them! You will become a brother/sister and a father/mother for many of them! And when you help them, you will notice that at the time that you helped the other…. you also helped yourself with another bit of healing… .. Just like iam doing now, with the pain I had and feel through the hard things in life.. You can be proud of yourself by speaking out, and by hanging on! Your not alone! Keep on holding on!
Steffany is surely an angel in disguise. Her voice is such a rich blessing to this world. Her passionate relationship with our King is admirable and truly inspiring. Im so thankful for her.
Love and light to the person reading this through tears while listening to such powerful lyrics. I know it seems hard right now but know God has and always will have you in the palm of His hand. x
i have been listening to this song for years. from freshmen year of high school to being an adult, i would put this on before i went to bed at night, and on the bus rides to school. it gives me such nostalgia. i would listen and just cry in silence. i want you, lord, to be all my heart desires. all my heart craves. for the rest of my life, even if i am alone, have nothing, i want you.
To that one soul reading this GOD is telling to you today, "For every teardrop, for every sleepless night, there is a blessing. This is Angels have been sent to clear the way for you The pain you're feeling won't compare to the joy that's coming.Weeping may endure for a night but joy comes in the morning!"
I am a God's servant from India. Really I am very much impressed by the worship and presence of God. Let the God provide such a real experiences with Him all the time. God be with you and bless you all...
For so long i’ve dealt with anxiety, which little did i know was health anxiety after my father suffered from deep depression, i was scared for him , my mother who dealt with it and myself. In 2019 i experienced my first ever panic attack, the Lord has been guiding me and i can confidently say he has transformed me, slowly but surely fears shackled are being unleashed and he is walking with me everyday. Lord you make me and my siblings so happy, we bless you. He will aid you, he is your God. He loves you, forever and always. ❤️
Sons like this just make me remember how great God is to my life by giving out His only Son to die for us. I will forever dwell in Him and He in me..... Most precious
I am very vulnerable this time, I am thinking of quitting cause in this life I don't see hope, I am in pain, I am broke, I am full of shame, I am rejected, I am alone, but all I need is Jesus. Lord sorry for all the wrong doings I have made and may You forgive me. Lord You are all I need. I love You Jesus
