1.I'd rather have Jesus than siver 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
（Chrous）
Than to be the king of a vast domain Or be held in sin's dread sway; I'd rather have Jesus than any thing This world affords today.
2.I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause, I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause; I'd rather have Jesus than world wide-fame, I'd rather be true to His holy name.
3.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.
