Alison Krauss - I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS lyrics

rate me

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 hands.

Than to be a king of a vast domain

Or be held in sin's dread sway

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 than worldwide fame,

I'd rather be true to His holy name.

Than to be a king of a vast domain

Or be held in sin's dread sway

I'd rather have Jesus than anything

This world affords today.
