Текст песни I’d Rather Have Jesus - Michael W. Smith

I′d rather have Jesus than silver or gold;
I'd rather be His than have riches untold;
I′d rather have Jesus than houses or lands;
I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

Than to be the king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin's dread sway;
I′d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I′d rather have Jesus than men'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

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He′s sweeter than honey from out the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs;
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
