I
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 AND LANDS
I'D RATHER BE LED BY HIS NAIL PERICED HANDS
CHORUS
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
II
I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS THAN MANS 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
