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

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

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 worldwide 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.
