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 and lands, I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
Chorus:
Than to be the King of a vast domain and be held in sins dread sway; I’d rather have Jesus than anything, this world affords today

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

I’d rather have Jesus than men’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
