Songs of Simple Worship 2; "Give Me Jesus" I first heard this song done by Fernando Ortega.  It rocked me.  I snatched the song and recorded it on the project.  It is one of two cover tunes on the CD. My hope is to live out the words to this song.  Easier said than done. Be sure and join us for the Simple Worship 2 release party,...
