Give Me Jesus
By The Woodlands UMC Music
The elderly woman behind the main vocalist, you can see her being moved to tears while singing.
This is one video/hymn capable of bringing me to tears as I sing along with it. Glory to God!

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

And when I am alone
Oh and when I am alone
And when I am alone
Give me Jesus

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

And when I come to die
Lord, oh and when I come to die
And 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

Fantastic historical account of “Amazing Grace” by John Newton. Perhaps the most well known hymn, it has spoken to believers and nonbelievers for centuries.

One of my favorite renditions, it features an intimate live recording of Judy Collins, a choir, with no instruments:

Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed

Through many dangers, toils, and snares
I have already come
This grace that brought me safe thus far
And grace will lead me home

When we've been here ten thousand years
Bright, shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Than when we first begun


Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind but now I see

Down To The River To Pray
by Alison Krauss
https://youtu.be/zSif77IVQdY

A very moving rendition by Alison Kraus and a choir. The pictures of people being baptized really captivate the essence of the hymn; there is one picture at 0:45 in particular that had me in tears. The hymn features very significant callings to very particular roles designed by God. The comments are worth looking at, as well, especially the ones of professing atheists. Glory to God!

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way!

O sisters let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sisters let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe & crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O brothers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
Come on brothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O fathers let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O fathers let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O mothers let's go down
Come on down, don't you wanna go down?
Come on mothers, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the starry crown?
Good Lord show me the way

O sinners, let's go down
Let's go down, come on down
O sinners, let's go down
Down in the river to pray

As I went down in the river to pray
Studying about that good ol' way
And who shall wear the robe and crown?
Good Lord show me the way
