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....
The 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 Two:
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....
Verse Three:
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....
The 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......
Tag
This world affords...today........
O this world....affords today.......
