I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS
1. 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.
Refrain
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.
2. I'd rather have
Jesus than men's applause,
I'd rather be
faithful to His dear cause;
I'd rather have
Jesus than world wide fame,
I'd rather be true
to His holy name.
3. 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.
