Id Rather Have Jesus

4 5 5 5 5 6 4 7 -6 6
I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold,

4 5 5 5 6 5 4 -4 -4 -4 -4
I’d rather be His than have ri-ches un-told;

4 5 5 5 5 6 4 7 7 -6 6
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands,

4 5 5 5 6 5 4 -4 -3 4
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.

CHORUS

4 7 -7 7 -8 -6 -7 7 -6 6
Than to be the king of a- vast do-main

6 7 -7 7 -8 -7 7
And be held in sin’s dread sway.

4 5 5 5 5 6 4 7 -6 6
I’d rather have Jesus than a-ny-thing

-5 5 6 5 -4 4
This world affords to-day.

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.

CHORUS

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.
