327 - I’d Rather Have Jesus

I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
Id rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
I’d rather 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.

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.
3
He’s fairer that 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.
