Since I've discovered Fernando Ortega, my love for Jesus has grown deeper roots. "Give Me Jesus" is simplicity...it is a wonder of Christian truth conveyed lovingly, beautifully, artistically. It has become my morning prayer. I struggle with chronic illness, and it helps me to sing along with Fernando, "You can have all this world; give me Jesus." No less beautiful and soul-anchoring are the other songs...especially "Come, oh Redeemer, come." This song is like one of the laments in the Psalms...about real needs, weaknesses, fears...yet always trusting in the Redeemer who hears our prayers. "Psalm 139" again lifts my spirits up and out from my circumstances and fills me with joy. Fernando Ortega is a vessel--a truly talented and spirit-filled man--yet when I listen to him, I hear Christ. That, to me, is the highest praise I can give.

a refreshing calmness in the midst of current xian music that is too loud and with words no one can understand..fernado ortega clearly has his heart on focusing on jesus..this cd is a must for anyone who desires to walk and to see jesus-use this cd in prayer and devotion time..a mind and spirit opener!

I have all of Fernando's music and it is excellent. This CD is no exception...only frustration about Give Me Jesus is that it is too short! There are only 5 songs and one is a repeat from another CD.

I was first introduced to Ortega's music by reading a review of The Breaking of Dawn at Amazon.com. I purchased the CD and loved his music from the start. Give Me Jesus was no disappointment: his rendition of the title song fills the listener with joy. Ortega's brilliant combination of the perfect instruments and clear song and his sense of doing everything in the spirit of Praise is evident in every song. I wish the CD were longer, but it is priced appropriately for what it delivers. I heartily recommend it.

The first time I heard Fernando Ortega was at Anne Graham Lotz' revival Just Give Me Jesus in Kansas City. I was not familiar with his music till that event. I was so moved by his music, especially Give Me Jesus, that was the centerpiece song of the event. Indeed, you can have all this world. Give me Jesus! That is the cry of my heart!

I just heard this stunningly beautiful rendition of Give Me Jesus at a friend's house, and simply had to come look it up on Amazon.com and order it! I'm already a complete Ortega fan from his first album, This Bright Hour. I first heard Ortega as a guest performer at a Michael Card concert, and if you are a Card fan, you will love Ortega. And if you love Jesus, these songs will lift you in a deeper, more tender relationship with Him. This particular version of Give Me Jesus is, hands down, my favorite that I've ever heard.

Fernando Ortega is a gifted worship leader and singer. His songs and vocals are haunting, compelling you to play the songs over and over and worshiping with him. I also own all the Ortega CD's to date and am very glad to have received this recommendation from Amazon. My husband was a sceptic (at first) until he heard the songs--now we need "his" and "her" sets to keep peace in the family!

Ortega's music is in a class by it's own. You truely can feel this artist's passion for God in this recording.

This CD was just as I had hoped. I was not familiar with the artist but I am now a fan. Highly recommend this CD.

Fernando Ortega arrangements always take me to that sweet, set apart from the world place, where it is my Lord and I.
