I'd Rather Have Jesus Lyrics

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 handThan to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords todayI'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 nameThan to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords todayHe'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 leadThan to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords today
