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 or land

I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced handThan to be the king of a vast domain

Or be held in sins dread sway

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords todayI'd rather have Jesus than vain 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

Or be held in sins dread sway

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affordsThan to be the king of a vast domain

Or be held in sins dread sway

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords todayToday, today, today

Today, today, today

I'd rather have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus

I'd rather have JesusHe'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 leadOh than to be the king of a vast domain

Or be held in sins dread sway

Just to be the king of a vast domain

Or be held in sins dread swayOh I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords

To be the king of a vast domain

Or be held in sins dread swayOh I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords, this world affords

This world affords today, today
