-1-

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
I'd rather have Him than all riches untold
And I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

REFRAIN

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be led in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

-2-

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
And I'd rather have Jesus than all fortune or fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name

REFRAIN

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be led in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
That this whole world affords today

***Scripture***

John 3:16 (KJV): For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

1 John 4:10 (KJV): Herein is Love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us, and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
