I'd Rather Have Jesus Songtext
von Michael English

I′d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather have him than have riches untold
I′d rather have Jesus than houses or lands
I'd rather be led by his nail-pierced hand

Than to be the king of a vast 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 men's applause
I′d rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than fortune and fame
I′d rather be true to his holy name

Than to be the king of a vast 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 anything
This world affords to give
To give
