I'd Rather Have Jesus -rather.mid - [Play Midi]

1. 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 lands
   I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

2. He's fairer than lily of rarest bloom
   He's sweeter than honey from out the comb
   He's all that my hungering spirit needs
   I'd rather be His and let Him lead

3. 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

Chorus:

Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today
