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
