[G]I'd rather have Jesus than [C]silver or [G]gold
I'd rather be His than have riches un[D7]told
I'd [G]rather have Jesus than [C]houses or [G]lands
I'd rather be led by His [D7]nail-pierced [G]hand
Than to [D7]be the king of a [C]vast [G]domain
And be [D7]held in sin's dread [C]s-w[G]ay
I'd rather have Jesus than [C]anyt[G]hing
This world [D7]affords [G]today
I'd rather have Jesus than [C]worldly [G]applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear [D7]cause
I'd [G]rather have Jesus than [C]worldwide [G]fame
I'd rather be true to [D7]His holy [G]name
Repeat #2
He's fairer than lilies of [C]rarest [G]bloom
He's sweeter than honey from out the [D7]comb
He's [G]all that my hungering [C]spirit [G]needs
I'd rather have Jesus and [D7]let Him [G]lead
Repeat #2
