Lyrics
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 lands, I’d rather be led by His nailpierced hand
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 worldwide fame, I’d rather be true to His Holy Name
Verse 3: 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
Chorus: Than to be the King of a vast domain Or be held in sin’s dread away; I’d rather have Jesus than anything This world affords today.
