MySongbooksI’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 land,
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand:
[Chorus]
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or 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
[Chorus]
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
[3]
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
[Chorus]
Than to be the king of a vast domain,
Or be held in sin’s dread sway.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
