I'd rather have 
Jesus than silver or gold
I'd rather, rather have 
Him than 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 the vast domains
Than be held in sins dread sway
I'd rather have 
Jesus than anything
This world can afford today
I'd rather have 
Jesus than man's applause
See, I'd rather be faithful to 
His dear cause
Oh, I'd rather have my 
Jesus than all the worldwide fame
Yes, I'd rather be true to 
His holy, to 
His holy name
Than to be the king of a vast domain
Than be held in sins dread sway
Oh, I'd rather have 
You, Jesus, than anything
This world can afford today, oh, yes
I'd rather have 
Jesus than anything
This world can afford, can afford today
I just love 
HimI love 
You Lord more than anything, anything
I'd rather have 
Jesus than man's applause
I'd rather be faithful to 
His dear cause
I'd rather have my 
Jesus than all the worldwide fame
You see, I'd rather be true to my 
Saviour's holy name
Than to be a king of a vast domain
Than be held in sins dread sway
Oh, I'd rather have 
Jesus than anything
This world can afford to be
You see, I'd rather have my 
JesusHe's been good to me
I'd rather have my 
Jesus than any, than anything
This world can afford, can afford today
I love You
