I'd Rather Have Jesus Chords

Lyrics & chords

[Verse 1]
[C]I'd rather have Jesus
than [F]silver or [C]gold
I'd rather be His than have
[G]riches [C]un [G]told
Oh, I'd [C]rather have Jesus
than [F]houses or [C]lands
I'd rather be lit [F]by [C]His [G]name
pierced [C]in hell
I'd rather have Jesus
than [F]men's applause
[C]I'd rather be faithful to His dear cau[G]se
Oh, and I'd [C]rather have Jesus
than [F]worldwide [C]fame
I'd rather be true to [G]His holy [C]name
And to [G]be the king of a [Am]vast [F]domain
[C]And be hel[G]d in sin's dread swa[F]y
[C]I'd rather have Jesus than [F]anything
[C]This world aff[G]ords tod[C]ay
He's fairer than lilies or [F]rarest [C]bloom
He's sweeter than honey
from out [G]of the comb
Oh, He's [C]all that my hunger
and [F]spirit [C]needs
I'd rather have Jesus and [G]live in [C]Thee
Than to [G]be the king of a [Am]vast [F]domain
[C]And be hel[G]d in sin's dread sway
[F]Oh,[C] I'd rather have Jesus
than [F]anything
[C]this world affor[G]ds tod[C]ay
And to [G]be the King of angels,
[Am]no m[F]an c[C]an be held[G]
in sin's dread [F]sway.
[C]Oh, I'd rather have Jesus
than [F]anything[C]
this world [G]affords [C]today
Yes, I'd rather have Jesus
than [F]anything[C]
this world af[G]fords [F]today[C]
