I`d rather have Jesus
Than silver or gold
I`d rather be his
Than have riches unfold
I`d rather have Jesus
Than houses or land
I`d rather be lead
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
The world affords today
I`d rather have Jesus
Than people`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
(chorus)
I would rather have Jesus than anything
The world affords today
