Smoking Popes - 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 unfold

I'd rather have Jesus

Than houses or land

I'd rather be lead

By his nail pierced hand

(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

The world affords today

I'd rather have Jesus

Than people'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

(chorus)

I would rather have Jesus than anything

The world affords today
