Ruth Bell Graham passed away on June 14th, 2007 leaving behind her husband, the famous evangelist, Billy Graham. This couple has lived out an exemplary Christlike lives. They remain a rare model for marriage, for faith, for spiritual fervour, for all things life, and above all, for Christ. This moving video is a reminder of such a great woman who had been called back to the Lord. I remember my time at Gordon-Conwell, my professors were saying about Ruth's special sense of humour that was so down to earth, and yet very profound. One day, as the car she was in crawled to a slow speed due to construction works, she saw the final road sign that says: "
End of Construction - Thank You for your patience," she said to her husband that those were the words she wanted on her tombstone. As I reflect on her life and her husband, I am encouraged. I am inspired, that for me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Give me Jesus.
Here is the
song by Fernando Ortega, called "Give Me Jesus." You can also check out a beautiful writeup of famous quotes from Ruth and her husband

LYRICS: GIVE ME JESUS
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,
Just give me Jesus.
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
When I am alone,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
When I come to die,
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus.
Give me Jesus,
Give me Jesus.
You can have all this world,
Just give me Jesus.
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,
Just give me Jesus.
