My Jesus – Book Review & Giveaway
Just in case you don’t know the song My Jesus, here’s the official music video.
And the lyrics:
Are you past the point of weary
Is your burden weighing heavy
Is it all too much to carry
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
Do you feel that empty feeling
‘Cause shame’s done all its stealing
And you’re desperate for some healing
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
He makes a way where there ain’t no way
Rises up from an empty grave
Ain’t no sinner that He can’t save
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
His love is strong and His grace is free
And the good news is I know that He
Can do for you what He’s done for me
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
And let my Jesus change your life
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, amen, amen
Who can wipe away the tears
From broken dreams and wasted years
And tell the past to disappear
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
And all the wrong turns that you would
Go and undo if you could
Who can work it all for your good
Let me tell you about my Jesus
Who would take my cross to Calvary
Pay the price for all my guilty
Who would care that much about me
Let me tell you ‘bout my Jesus
Whether you are facing loss or disappointment, My Jesus comes alongside you to: show how God can bring purpose out of loss, offer hope in the midst of heartbreak, and remind you that God never abandons you.
My Jesus Book Review
I have loved the song My Jesus since I first heard it. So I jumped at the chance to read the story behind the song! And this book did not disappoint! I could barely put the book down. When I absolutely had to, I picked it back up every chance I got.
Anne Wilson was only a teenager when she lost her brother. She had no plans on ever being a singer or musician. She wanted to be an astronaut! She only agreed to sing a song at her brothers funeral because her mother asked her to. And that’s where it all started for Anne. I was surprised to find that She was only 17 when she signed her recording contract.
Her faith and commitment to God come shining through her book. I cried more reading this book than I have ever done reading any other book. Sad tears, and happy tears!
I highly recommend My Jesus to readers of all ages.
