I'd Rather Have Jesus
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold,
G7 C G
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands,
C7 F G C
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand . . .
Chorus:
G7 Am G7 Am F C
Than to be the king of a vast domain
G7 Am G7 F C
And be held in sin's dread sway.
C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
G F C
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 . . .
Chorus
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.
