Psalm 19:8,10 The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes.
[10] More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold: sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb.
I would have squandered the life of my soul by seeking things that could never satisfy, but could only lead to destruction.
But God, He made a difference.
The problems of life faded into insignificance when I believed, and God became more glorious than ever.
I’d rather have Jesus than anything.

“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.
Chorus
“Than to be the king of a vast domain — And 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.”
—— Although American hymnals show Rhea Miller as the author of this song, Swedish sources attribute the original to Prince Oscar Bernadotte. In 1888 he relinquished his royal title and right to succession in order to marry a commoner who had influenced his religious beliefs.
