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 
         D7               C    G 
Than to be the king of a vast domain 
       D7                  C  G 
And be held in sin's dread s-way 
                           C   G 
I'd rather have Jesus than anything 
           D7      G 
This world affords today 
                            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 
I'd rather be true to His holy name   
        D7               C    G 
Than to be the king of a vast domain 
       D7                  C  G 
And be held in sin's dread s-way 
                           C   G 
I'd rather have Jesus than anything 
           D7      G 
This world affords today 
                           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 
        D7               C    G 
Than to be the king of a vast domain 
       D7                  C  G 
And be held in sin's dread s-way 
                           C   G 
I'd rather have Jesus than anything 
           D7      G 
This world affords today
