327   I d Rather Have Jesus




[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 nail-pierced hand.

[C]
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 worldwide fame
I d rather be true to His holy name.

[C]
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.

[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.

[C]
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.
