I'd Rather Have Jesus

I'd Rather Have Jesus - George Beverly Shea

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold

I'd rather be him than have riches untold

I'd rather have Jesus than houses Orlando

I'd rather be led by his nail-pierced hands

Than to be a king of the vast domains

And be held in sins dread sway

I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world are afford today

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

I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world can afford today
