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 lands,
|
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
|
|
Than to be the king of a vast domain
|
And be held in sin's dread sway.
|
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
|
This world affords today.
|
|
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause,
|
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;
|
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame,
|
I'd rather be true to His holy name.
|
|
Than to be the king of a vast domain
|
And be held in sin's dread sway.
|
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
|
This world affords today.
|
|
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom,
|
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb;
|
He's all that my hungering spirit needs,
|
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
|
|
Than to be the king of a vast domain
|
And be held in sin's dread sway.
|
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
|
This world affords today.
