I'd Rather Have Jesus Lyrics

Bill & Gloria Gaither I'd Rather Have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather, rather have Him than riches untold
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hands

Chorus:
Than to be a king of a vast domain
and be held in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world can afford today

I'd rather have Jesus than man's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
Oh, I'd rather have my Jesus than all the worldwide fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name

Chorus
