I'd Rather Have Jesus | Christian Song Lyrics | Yeshu Geets

 Verse 1

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 hand:

Chorus

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.

Verse 2

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause,

I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause;

I'd rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,

I'd rather be true to His holy Name

Chorus

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.

Verse 3

He'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 lead

Chorus

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.
