Silver and gold, silver and gold, oh
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune, nor riches untold
Oh, I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
Don't give me a mansion on top of the hill
Don't give me the world with a shallow thrill
But just give me a Savior, my life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
Woke up this morning, feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend, she could not be found
But I called on Jesus, my life He can hold
I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold
Silver and gold
Silver and gold, silver and gold, oh
I'd rather have Jesus-
I'd rather have Jesus (silver) than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
No fame or fortune, (nor riches) nor riches untold
I'd rather-
I'd rather have Jesus
For unto us a Child is born, a Son is given
I'd rather have Jesus
You see what profits a man to gain
The whole wide world and lose His soul
I'd rather have Jesus
In the midnight hour when my body is rocking with pain
I'd rather have Jesus (I'd rather have Jesus), I'd rather have Jesus
The Son of Man, the King of kings
I'd rather have Jesus (than silver) than silver and gold
I'd rather have Jesus, I don't need a fancy car
I don't even have to have a diamond ring
Hey, but give me Jesus in the midnight hour
When all of my money is gone
I can call on Jesus, hey
And I know He'll answer, I know He'll answer
He's the only One that can save your soul
He can make you whole, He can be there you
Oh, hey, I'd rather have Jesus, I'd rather have Jesus
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
I'd rather have Jesus, I don't need nobody
Yeah-hey, hey
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hey, He's the only One to save you
