English Lyrics
Verse 1
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold, I'd rather be His than have riches untold; Id rather have Jesus than houses or lands, I'd rather 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.
Verse 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 world wide fame, I'd rather be true to His Holy name.
Verse 3
He's fairer that 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.
