I'd Rather Have Jesus
1. 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.
(Refrain) 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.
2. 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.
3. He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He's sweeter than honey from out of the comb;
He's all that my hungering spirit needs.
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead.

Responsive Reading (Psalm 40:1-3, 5a)
(L) I waited patiently for the Lord; he turned to me and heard my cry.
(C) He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire;
(L) He set my feet on a rock and gave me a firm place to stand.
(C) He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God.
(L) Many will see and fear and put their trust in the Lord.
(C) Many, O Lord my God, are the wonders you have done.
(L) The things you planned for us no one can recount to you; were I to speak and tell of them, they would be too many to declare.
