I'd Rather Have Jesus lyrics

Song information

Artist: Alison Krauss
Album: I Know Who Holds Tomorrow

Lyrics

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
