I'd Rather Have Jesus

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 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 worldwide fame; I"d rather be true to His holy name 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 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... I"d rather have Jesus
