Lyrics
Jamaican Gospel - Give Me Jesus - Judith Gayle
What you think about Jesus
He's all right
Ohh, What you think about Jesus
He's all right
He's all right, all right, all right
Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When all my friends would say to me
Looks like hope is lost
I call the name of Jesus
In whom my future lies
When my soul is cast down
And my way looks dark
He softly comes in a whisper
"Child your future is bright"
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When all my friends would say to me
Looks like hope is lost
I call the name of Jesus
In whom my future lies
When my soul is cast down
And my way looks dark
He softly comes in a whisper
"Child your future is bright"
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
When my friends are gone, You Give Me Jesus
I got no food on my table, Give Me Jesus
I got no shoes on my feet, You Give Me Jesus
No roof over my head, You Give Me Jesus
No clothes on my body, Give Me Jesus
My parents are gone, Give Me Jesus
Friends forsaken, Give Me Jesus
I got no money in my pocket, Give Me Jesus!!, You Give Me Jesus
World is living in fear, Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
Now Give Me Jesus in the morning
Give Me Jesus in the evening
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus
He's my reason for living
He's my source of survival
Every minute of the day
Give Me Jesus

Meaning & Inspiration
Judith Gayle's "Give Me Jesus in the Morning Everyday," released on April 12, 2015, stands as a powerful testament to unwavering faith within the vibrant tradition of Jamaican Gospel. This song isn't merely a performance; it's a declaration, a prayer, and a guide to navigating life's complexities by centering everything on Jesus. Its core message is a profound and unyielding commitment to Christ as the absolute necessity for existence, a call to embrace His presence not just in times of crisis but as the very fabric of daily living.
The song immediately establishes its premise with a simple yet potent affirmation: "What you think about Jesus, He's all right." This isn't a casual agreement but a foundational statement of settled conviction, echoing the certainty found in passages like Psalm 118:8, which reminds us it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in man. The repeated refrain, "Give Me Jesus in the morning, Give Me Jesus in the evening, Every minute of the day," paints a picture of constant, unbroken communion and reliance. He is presented not as an optional addition, but as the fundamental "reason for living" and "source of survival." This resonates deeply with Colossians 1:17, which states that "in Him all things hold together," positioning Jesus as the very essence and sustainer of life itself. The plea for Jesus "every minute of the day" transcends mere devotion, becoming an expression of utter dependence, acknowledging that true sustenance, both spiritual and practical, flows solely from Him.
The narrative deepens as the song addresses the real-world struggles that challenge one's resolve. When friends pronounce hope lost, a common human experience of despair, the response is a resolute call to the name of Jesus, "in whom my future lies." This reflects the powerful truth of Romans 10:13, "whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved," emphasizing that salvation encompasses deliverance from hopelessness and a secure future found in Christ. When the soul feels cast down and the path ahead seems dark, a gentle, personal reassurance comes in a whisper: "Child your future is bright." This intimate comfort speaks to the Holy Spirit's role as comforter and guide, as promised in John 14:26, and God’s unwavering faithfulness to His plans for us, as articulated in Jeremiah 29:11: "For I know the plans I have for you… plans to give you hope and a future." It’s a powerful reminder that even in our lowest moments, divine perspective offers a beacon of light and promise.
The song culminates in a powerful enumeration of profound losses and deprivations, demonstrating that Jesus remains the indispensable answer regardless of circumstance. The lyrics meticulously list the absence of friends, food, shoes, shelter, clothes, parents, and money, concluding with the fear gripping the world. In response to each potential void, the emphatic cry, "Give Me Jesus!" rings out. This section brilliantly illustrates the principle that Christ’s sufficiency surpasses all earthly provisions and relationships. It embodies the truth of Philippians 4:19, "And my God will supply every need of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus," not just materially, but spiritually, emotionally, and existentially. When everything else is stripped away, Jesus is the enduring, all-encompassing provision and comfort. This comprehensive dependence on Jesus, not just for salvation but for daily existence and resilience through every trial, makes the song a profound declaration of faith and an inspiring anthem for anyone navigating life's uncertainties.
