We (Jesus and I) have our own thing going on. We’ve figured everything out between ourselves and Jesus. We (Jesus and I) have our own thing going on. We don’t need somebody to tell us what it’s all about. I know a man who was once a sinner and has since repented. I know a man who used to be a heavy drinker. And I know a man who used to be a loose cannon. On one particular day, he went outside and constructed an alter out of a stump. Jesus has seen me through all of my difficulties. All of my hardships were brought to an end by Jesus.

We can’t afford any fancy preachin’ at the moment.

We can’t afford any fancy dancing or singing.

“Me and Jesus”, Brad Paisley’s Version

He is well-known for his conventional country sound, but Brad Paisley does more than just practice and hone his voice to achieve this; he also sings and praises the Lord via some of his gospel songs and interpretations. Paisley has published his own gospel songs while also covering hymns and other religious music. ” Me and Jesus ” by George Jones and Tammy Wynette was one of his most well-known performances, and it remains one of his most memorable. Tom T. Hall wrote the lyrics and music for this country-gospel song.

1. In 2014, Paisley released his eleventh studio album, Moonshine In the Trunk, which includes the song ” Me and Jesus “.
2. When asked about the recording process, Paisley explained: “I cut the track the day before we departed.” It took 13 hours to get there and 16 hours to get back, giving me plenty of time to mix the record.
3. It didn’t take very long at all.
4. “It was combined somewhere over the Black Sea,” says the author.

Singing for the Ebola-Stricken Doctor

Dr. Kent Brantly is a brave guy who risks his life to rescue others, and Paisley issued a tweet in response to the publication of his rendition of the song four years ago, saying, “Pray for Dr. Kent Brantly.” Photograph courtesy of people.com. Dr. Kent Brantly | Dr. Brantly, it appears, made headlines when he was alleged to have acquired the deadly Ebola virus while providing medical care in the West African country of Liberia. He was volunteering with a nonprofit that assists and treats both infected and uninfected people.

Brantly, as a response to his initial tweet.

Fighting Ebola who donated the serum to his friend,” the musician added in a subsequent tweet.

“It’s for him.”

I know a man who used to be a loser. But one day he walked outside and fashioned an altar out of a stump. Me and Jesus have our own thing going on. Me and Jesus have everything figured out.

• All of my heartaches were brought to an end by Jesus.
• Me and Jesus have our own thing going on.
• We’ve got our own thing going on, and we don’t need someone to tell us what it’s all about anymore.

Lyrics to the song Me and Jesus – Tom T. Hall

Well, Jesus and I have our own projects in the works. It was only me and Jesus who figured it out. Me and Jesus started working on our own projects. There isn’t anything we need somebody to tell us what it’s all about. I know a man who used to be a sinner. I know a man who used to be a heavy drinker. I know a man who used to be a loser. But one day he walked outside and fashioned an altar out of a tree trunk. Me and Jesus started working on our own projects. It was only me and Jesus who figured it out.

• There isn’t anything we need somebody to tell us what it’s all about.
• All of my hardships were brought to an end by Jesus.
• And I’m confident that Jesus isn’t going to abandon me now.
• It was only me and Jesus who figured it out.
• There isn’t anything we need somebody to tell us what it’s all about.
• We can’t afford to go to a posh church.

History of Hymns: ‘Give Me Jesus’

Developed by Thomas L. Baynham, Jr. and C. Michael Hawn, “Give Me Jesus,” an African American spiritual;Worship and Song, 3140;Songs of Zion, 165; “Give Me Jesus,” an African American spiritual Give me Jesus in the morning when I wake up, in the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise, in the morning when I rise. If you want all the world, give me Jesus. If you want all the world, give me Jesus. Spirituals proclaim a total confidence in God to make right in the next world what has been done wrong in this one, according to Eileen Guenther (Guenther, 2016, xviii).

Frederick Douglass (1818–1895), in his autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass: An American Slave(1845), describes spirituals as “those simple and seemingly incoherent songs” with “strong, long, and profound accents” that “breathed the prayers and complaint of souls suffering the most cruel anguish,” and as “those simple and seemingly incoherent songs” with “strong, long, and profound accents.” “Each voice was a witness against slavery and a cry for God to release us from our bonds.

I found myself in tears several times while listening to them” (quoted in Chenu, 2003, p.

These statements have a direct connection to the song “Give Me Jesus.” Author Bruno Chenu describes spirituals as an expression of Christian faith seen through the prism of slavery and set to music from both an African and European setting, according to the author (Chenu, 2003, 86).

As we can see below, the song “Give Me Jesus” relies on both African and Euro-American musical traditions to create a unique sound.

The Origins of “Give Me Jesus”

Origins of this spiritual appear to be a convergence of the white hymn tradition with the creative expression and existential realities of enslaved Africans, according to the available evidence. In addition to the refrain “Give me Jesus,” a number of opening stanzas have appeared throughout history, albeit the most widely used initial stanza presently begins “In the morning when I rise.” There are numerous slave songs on this topic in the oldest post-Civil War collection,Slave Songs of the United States(New York, 1867), which was published in 1867.

• Helena Island, Port Royal Island, and Hilton Head Island—by northern abolitionists William Francis Allen, Charles Pickard Ware, and Lucy McKim Garrison during the Civil War on plantations on St.
• These islands were captured by the Union Army in the early 1860s and remained in their possession throughout the war.
• Lucy Garrison was a trained musician, and she was instrumental in ensuring that the 136 spirituals in the collection were accurately transcribed.
• “Generally speaking, the dawn represented to the blacks the time for going to paradise and the time for the resurrection” (Odum and Johnson, 1925, 100).
• Tell my Jesus ‘Morning'” (Slave Songs, No.
• 15) is a song that begins with: “In de mornin’ when I rise,Tell my Jesus huddy, oh;I wash my hands in de mornin’ splendour” (Tell my Jesus “Morning” (Slave Songs, No.
• 15).

The song “Early in the Morning” (Slave Songs, no.

44) portrays the reunion of family members in heaven: “Early in the Morning” (Slave Songs, no.

44) describes the reunion of family members in heaven: The first thing I do in the morning is greet tiny Rosa, and I ax her, how do you do my darter?

Walking about the heaben.,until all of the living can be a part of that band.

Since then, however, historians have become aware of a plethora of spirituals that rely on language from white hymns before being modified by African American ingenuity as a result of this borrowing.

Mansfield (1810–1855) and published in a book called “Give me Jesus.” This book, The American Vocalist, is a collection of melodies, anthem, phrases, and hymns, both ancient and modern, prepared for the church or the vestry or the home, and suited to every type of meter in general use, Rev.

The first edition of Zion’s Herald (Boston, May 3, 1848), a Methodist newspaper, reported that the first edition was published on November 11, 1848, according to Zion’s Herald.

Because the song occurs in the revised collection (1849), it is probable that the northern editors of Slave Songs(1867) were familiar with it because of the song’s publication date in the revised collection (1849).

In 1857, less than a decade after the publication of the book, an advertising from Brown, Taggard, and Chase Publishers stated that “almost 100,000 copies had been sold” and that the collection had gained “the highest recommendation from gentlemen of musical knowledge.

Mansfield was born in Maine and was raised Methodist (Deacon, 1991, p.

He was well-traveled and well-respected as a talented vocalist.

Because his wife Lucy had died a year earlier, Mansfield’s death left two orphaned girls who were cared for by Methodists in Maine after their father’s death (Deacon, 1991, 38).

Ed., according to the available external evidence (1849).

It is conceivable that the northern abolitionists who compiled Slave Songswere aware of this famous collection, as well as a song featured in Mansfield’s collection with the same title and a melodic structure that was similar to the one in Mansfield’s collection.

345), even the melody (found in the tenor section) exhibits some relation to the melodic contour of the spiritual as it is currently sung.

Just as it has been the case with previous spirituals, a melody or text has undergone alteration after being embraced by the African American community.

Millennialist David Deacon, who wrote a master’s thesis on Mansfield and The American Vocalist, Rev.

“However, the dominant theme, that of the journey, with its sub-themes of conversion (beginning the journey), exile and world-rejection, and hopeful arrival in heaven, belonged to both Southern and Northern plainfolk traditions; Mansfield (and his sources) adapted them for Millennialist purposes,” according to the author (Deacon, 1991, 140).

1. The following is the whole text from The American Vocalist:When I’m delighted, listen to me sing.
2. Give me Jesus, please.
3. Give me Jesus, and you can have the whole world.
4. When I’m dying, you’ll be able to hear me sob.
5. When we get to paradise, we’ll start singing.
6. Blessings on you, O Lord Jesus Christ.
7. Numerous versions from African American oral tradition illustrate the creative process that switches the theological focus and indicate a family of spirituals on this topic, which can be traced back to the beginning of the tradition.
8. In a version attributed to the escaped former slave Sojourner Truth (c.
9. Reagon (2001, 126–127) describes his ascension and ascension into heaven on a cloud.
10. Mcilhenny contains a spiritual on this topic that bears striking resemblance to ‘Give me Jesus’: O, I really want to see Jesus first thing in the morning, therefore I’ll be there first thing.

O, when I come to die.In the morning when I rise.Dark midnight was my cry.I heard the mourner say.I heard the mourner say.I heard the mourner say.I heard the mourner say.O, when I come to die.In the morning when I rise.Dark midnight was my cry.I heard the mourner say.I heard the mourner say.

• “Give Me Jesus” was the first spiritual prepared by African American composer Edward H.
• It was performed in 1918 at the New York City Ballet.
• It is possible to hear his arrangement at: O, when I come to die.Dark midnight was my scream.

• In his American Negro Songs and Spirituals (New York, 1940, p.
• “Dark darkness was my cries.” I heard my mother say.
• Collections nowadays almost typically begin with the phrase “When I wake up in the morning,” but they go on to include a variety of extra stanzas.

Just when the sun is rising.*Oh, when I’m ready to die.And when I’m in the mood for singing.

Using “Give Me Jesus” Today

The inclusion of “Give Me Jesus” in a wide range of solo and choral arrangements demonstrates the song’s adoption into the larger repertoire. Other musical forms, such as Bluegrass (feature=emb title) and modern Christian genres (feature=emb title), have used the spiritual, often without acknowledgement, to their own ends. The American Vocalist, a singing group from New York, meets once a year in Maine to practice their craft (see). Funerals and Lent are two occasions when the spiritual is frequently invoked.

• As Gwendolin Sims Warren points out, songs such as “Give Me Jesus” “may be a response to a commonplace catastrophe, such as the terrible loss of children, other family members, and friends to the auction block” (Warren, 1997, 37).
• A favorite of Louvenia “Mom” Painter, the founder and artistic director of the Great Day Chorale in New York City, was the spiritual “Amazing Grace.” In her opinion, the following interpretation is correct: Anyone who is familiar with Jesus understands that He is everything.
• Nothing matters if you don’t have Him by your side.
• I recall the several occasions when the scream of ‘black midnight’ rang out just before the light of day.
• (1997, p.
• 38) Verolga Nix (1933–2014), a member of the New Covenant Church of Philadelphia and organist for Ward AME Zion Church of Philadelphia, created the harmonization.

She was born in Philadelphia and died in 2014. While the usage of stanza content will vary from hymnal collection to hymnal collection and supplement to supplement, Worship and Song contains the four stanzas that are most associated with the spiritual.
