I'd Rather Have Jesus
Recorded By Jim Reeves
Written by Rhea F. Miller - George B. Shea
 
[Verse 1]
    G                      C         G
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
                                     D7
I'd rather be His than have riches untold
    G                      C         G
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands
                         D7           G
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
 
[Refrain]
        D7               C      G
Than to be the king of a vast domain
       D7                  C  G
And be held in sin's dread sway
                           C   G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
             D7      G       D7  G
This world affords today
 
[Verse 2]
    G                      C         G
I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause
                                   D7
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
    G                      C         G
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
                               D7   G
Yes, I'd rather be true to His holy name
 
[Refrain]
        D7               C    G
Than to be the king of a vast domain
       D7                  C  G
And be held in sin's dread sway
                           C   G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
             D7      G
This world affords today
 
[Verse 3]
     G                     C      G
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
                                     D7
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb
     G                     C      G
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
                          D7      G
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
 
[Refrain]
        D7               C    G
Than to be the king of a vast domain
       D7                  C  G
And be held in sin's dread sway
                           C   G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
             D7      G
This world affords today
