I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS

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 nails pierced hands.

CHORUS
Than to be a king of a vast
domain
Or be held by sins great 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 world wide fame
I’d rather be true
to His holy name.

He’s fairer than the Lilies
of rarest bloom
He’s sweeter than the honey
out of the comb
He’s all that my hungering
spirit needs
I’d rather have Jesus
and let Him lead..
