Give Me Jesus
Fernando Ortega – “Give Me Jesus” from Adamson.TV on Vimeo.

As I consider the last six months (and especially this upcoming Sunday) and how kind God has been to convince me that everything minus Jesus equals nothing, but Jesus plus nothing equals everything, I am reminded of my grandmother who passed away in June 2007. She knew Christ’s companionship like no one I’ve ever known. She reveled in the wrecking power of the gospel day in and day out. She lived life like she had nothing to lose because she knew that, in Christ, she had nothing to lose! This enabled her to live with great freedom, fearlessness, and unbounded courage.
For many, many years I have begged God to make me like her– to give me a sharp mind, a soft heart, and a steel spine like he gave her. I can only hope and pray that as God continues to strip me of everything but Him, I would become more like her.
As she used to always say, “Just give me Jesus.”

I've been listening to this same video for weeks. Beautiful.
If you haven't checked it out, you should find Ortega's "Sing to Jesus" on Youtube also.
Thank you for that. What a great way to wake up in the morning. One of my favorites for sure.
Does anyone know how to download a version of this video to use where an internet connection is not available.
This link might let you download the file…

This type of content is designed to be dynamic so the link will not work forever. You may want to look for plugins for firefox which let you download flash video.
Chris,
I found a great Youtube video for showing how to capture videos like this one in the Foxfire browser and then play them back using a video player. Both the Firefox add-on and player are free to download. The link for how to do it is at:

After following the instructions I came back to this video and was able to grab it within my browser (Foxfire) and then play it using the video player without any problems. The capture feature ends up embedded in the Foxfire browser and is basically “off” unless you click on a play button. At that point it turns itself on and allows you to capture the video. It’s not even necessary to play the entire video. The second you click play it turns itself on. At this point I hit pause to stop the video (as good as it is I didn’t want to watch it again) and told the capture program to download it. The entire file is downloaded even without watching it. Simply works great!
Having lived overseas for nearly 30 and not having had easy access to the Internet, I had not heard of Fernando Ortega until I read your interview here: http://exiledpreacher.blogspot.com/2009/02/blogging-in-name-of-lord-justin-taylor.html. I checked him out and ended up downloading four of his CD’s. I do not tire of listening to “The Shadow of Your Wings”. There is something very wonderful about listening to these musical renditions of the sacred Scriptures. Thanks so much for your posts.
