I'd Rather Have Jesus Lyrics - Singles - Jeff Deyo

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 land 

I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand 

Than to be the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

This world affords today 

I'd rather have Jesus than vain 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 the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

This world affords 

Than to be the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

This world affords today 

Today, today, today 

Today, today, today 

I'd rather have Jesus 

I'd rather have Jesus 

I'd rather have Jesus 

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom 

He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb 

He's all that my hungering spirit needs 

I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead 

Oh than to be the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Just to be the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

This world affords 

To be the king of a vast domain 

Or be held in sins dread sway 

Oh I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

This world affords, this world affords 

This world affords today, today
