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
Refrain 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 rather be faithful to His dear cause; Id 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 than my hungering spirit needs. I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
