Give me Jesus

I was just watching the Billy Graham special on ABC on the life of Ruth Graham http://www.billygraham.org/. It brought me to tears to see such a beautiful story of such awe-inspiring God-fearing women who despite her debilitating illnesses always looked to her Lord for strength. I kept thinking of my abuelos and how they have been in such poor health and how difficult it has been for my family. We know that my abuelos are set to meet their Lord in Heaven, but it's so hard to see them in deteriorate before our eyes. My Papi keeps telling us that he's done... he's ready to go home to Heaven. After watching this special on TV, my deepest prayer is that when it is His perfect time to take them home that they would be at peace and not miserable.

Fernando Ortega sang "Give me Jesus" at the end of show...

In the morning when I rise, give me Jesus
And when I am alone, give me Jesus
And when I am afraid, give me Jesus
You can have all this world, but give me Jesus
