I’d Rather Have Jesus

Philippians 3:8 Yea doubtless, and I count all things but loss for the excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord: for whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and do count them but dung, that I may win Christ,

To know Jesus in salvation is just the beginning. 


Every mile reveals more of His glory, every burden His grace. 


He is a Friend that sticks closer than a brother. 


He reveals Himself in the storm and in the sunshine. 


I’d Rather Have Jesus

_____________________


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  —  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. - - -
