# 327 I’d Rather Have Jesus
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.
Refrain : 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.
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.
