A A7 D A
1. I’d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
2. I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
3. He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
E E7
I’d rather be His than have riches untold;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
He’s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
A A7 D A
I’d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs,
F#m Bm E A
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.
I’d rather be true to His holy name.
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
E E7 D A
Than to be the king of a vast domain
E E7 D A
Or be held in sin’s dread sway;
A7 D A
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
E D A
This world affords today.
