I'd Rather Have Jesus Songtext
von George Beverly Shea

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 hands


Than to be a king of a best domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
I′d rather have Jesus
Than anything this world affords today

I′d rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I′d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Yes, I'd rather be true to His holy name

Than to be a king of a best domain
And be held in sin′s dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus
Than anything this world affords today
