I'd Rather Have Jesus Songtext
von Willie Nelson

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 land
I'd rather be led by his nail-pierced hand


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

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

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.
