327- I'd Rather Have Jesus

Gospel: Consecration

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.

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 worldwide fame,
  • I'd rather be true to His holy name.

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.
