Give Me Jesus, Fernando Ortega -- Tribute to Ruth Graham

These are some great quotes by and about Ruth Graham which give insight into her and her life as a mighty woman of God. I desire to be like her:

“A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” --R.G.

“No, I’ve never thought of divorce in all these 35 years of marriage, but I did think of murder a few times.”--R.G.

“As a mother, my job is to take care of what is possible and trust God with the impossible.”--R.G.

“My mother was in love with Jesus…and that love was contagious. She wasn’t caught up in religion or tradition or rituals-she was caught up in a personal relationship with Jesus.” – daughter Ann Graham Lotz

“I am so grateful to the Lord that He gave me Ruth, and especially for these last few years we’ve had in the mountains together. We rekindled the romance of our youth, and my love for her continued to grow deeper every day,” Graham recollected. “I will miss her terribly and look forward even more to the day I can join her in heaven."---Billy Graham

Lyrics:
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus

When I am alone
When I am alone
When I am alone, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus

When I come to die
When I come to die
When I come to die, give me Jesus

Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus,
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
You can have all this world,
But give me Jesus

Supporting Scriptures:
"But I will sing of your strength,

in the morning I will sing of your love;

for you are my fortress,

my refuge in times of trouble." Psalm 59:16

"When I am afraid,

I will trust in you.

In God, whose word I praise,

in God I trust; I will not be afraid.

What can mortal man do to me?" Psalm 56: 3-4

"What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what he has done." Matthew 16: 26-27

"I waited patiently for the Lord;

he turned to me and heard my cry.

He lifted me out of the slimy pit,

out of the mud and mire;

he set my feet on a rock

and gave me a firm place to stand.

He put a new song in my mouth,

a hymn of praise to our God.

Many will see and fear

and put their trust in the Lord." Psalm 40:1-3

“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him." John 3:16
