I'd Rather Have Jesus

By Steven Curtis Chapman

Lyrics

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold 

I'd rather be his than have riches untold 

And 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 

And I'd rather have Jesus than anything  

This world affords today 

 

And I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause 

I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause 

And I'd rather have Jesus than world wide 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
