Going by the channel name ‘One Man Vocal Band’ Ryan Henry sings a cappella rendition of ‘Give Me Jesus.’
He writes, “I make a cappella music videos of all kinds and I sing all the parts. I especially enjoy singing about our great God and Jesus, the savior of the world.”
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I rise
In the morning, when I riseGive me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.When I am alone,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
Give me Jesus.When I come to die,
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
Give me Jesus.
Apparently, the origin of this hymn arose from a merger of traditions in American culture. It appears to be a confluence of the white hymn tradition and the creativity and existential experiences of enslaved Africans.
