I’d Rather Have Jesus
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather have Him than riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than fine houses or great lands
You see, I just want to be led by His nail-scarred hands
Than to be a king of a vast domain
Than be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus more than anything
That this old crazy world can afford me today
I'd rather have Jesus more than man's applause or approval
See I'd try to be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus more than all the world-wide fame
Don't you know I gotta, I gotta be, I gotta be true to my Lord's holy name
Than to be a king of a vast domain than be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have my Jesus more than anything
That this old world can afford me today
More than this world can afford, Lord, we love You more than anything
