I'd Rather Have Jesus Lyrics - Smoking Popes

I'd rather have Jesus 

Than silver or gold 

I'd rather be his 

Than have riches unfold 

I'd rather have Jesus 

Than houses or land 

I'd rather be lead 

By his nail pierced hand 

(chorus) 

Than to be the king 

Of a vast domain 

Or be held in sin's dread sway 

I'd rather have Jesus than anything 

The world affords today 

I'd rather have Jesus 

Than people's applause 

I'd rather be faithful 

To his dear cause 

I'd rather have Jesus 

Than worldwide fame 

I'd rather be true 

To his holy name 

(chorus)
