I'D Rather Have Jesus

(Music)

I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver or gold
I'd rather be His
Than have riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than houses or land
I'd rather be led
By His nail-pierced hands

Than to be the king
Of a vast domain
And to be held in
Dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus
Than anything
This world affords today

(Music)

I'd rather have Jesus
Than worldly applause
I'd rather be faithful
To His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus
Than worldwide fame
Yes, I'd rather be true
To His holy name

Than to be the king
Of a vast domain
And to be held in
Dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus
Than anything
This world affords today

Yes, I'd rather have Jesus
Than anything
This world affords today
