I'd Rather Have Jesus | Selah | Lyrics

Came across another beautiful song written in honor of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ; hope I did the video justice, though I am so unworthy of Him. Praying one day the Lord will have mercy and remember me as I continue my walk down the Narrow Way in search of Jesus.

Lyrics

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

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

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

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

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

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. (Matt 10:38)
