| 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 lands |
| I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand |
| |
| Than 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 |
| |
| I’d rather have Jesus than worldly 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 |
| |
