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 land
I`d rather be led by his nail scared hands.
Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin`s dreads way
I`d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
--- Fiddle - Guitar Instrumental ---
I`d rather have Jesus than men`s applause
I`d rather be faithful to his dear cause
I`d rather have Jesus then world wide things
I`d rather be true to his holy name.
Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin`s dreads way
I`d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today...
