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 to His nail-pierced hand
|
Than to be the king of a vast domain or be held in sins dread sway
|
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
|
This world affords today
|
I'd rather have Jesus than vain 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
|
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
|
He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb
|
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
|
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
|
