- 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 - Refrain:
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
If it came down to Jesus or things in this old world, we must chose Jesus. However, our Heavenly Father knows that we need a home to live in and other things pertaining to life. He knows we need these things but it should be about getting them in the right way. We ought to get things through Christian prayer and His elect angels are watching over us and they surround us. This song should be our testimony for Jesus. Amen.
