But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ - the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~PHILIPPIANS 3:7-9 NIV~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Click on photo for website. (CLICK ON TITLE TO HEAR SONG) I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS by The Southern Brothers 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-scarred hand. Than to be a king with a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway; I'd rather have Jesus than anything, This old world affords today. I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause, I'd rather be faithful to His precious cause; I'd rather have Jesus than world-wide fame, I'd rather be true to His Holy name. He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom, He's sweeter than honey straight from the comb, He's all that my hungering spirit needs, I'd rather have Jesus and let him lead. Than to be a king of a vast domain, And be held in sin's dread sway; I'd rather have Jesus than anything, This old world affords today. Than this old world affords today. BACK TO SONGS
