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 Nail-Pierced Hand
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.
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
He’s Fairer Than Lilies Of Rarest Bloom;
He’s Sweeter Than Honey From Out The Comb;
He’s All That My Hungering Spirit Needs;
I’d Rather Have Jesus And Let Him Lead
