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 land
I'd rather be led by his nail scared hands.
Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
--- Fiddle - Guitar Instrumental ---
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus then world wide things
I'd rather be true to his holy name.
Than to be a king of the best domain
Or be held in sin's dreads way
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today...
Prefiero tener a Jesús
Prefiero tener a Jesús que plata o oro
Prefiero ser suyo que tener riquezas incontables
Prefiero tener a Jesús que casas o tierras
Prefiero ser guiado por sus manos heridas por los clavos.
En lugar de ser un rey del mejor dominio
O ser atrapado en el temor al pecado
Prefiero tener a Jesús que cualquier cosa
Que este mundo ofrezca hoy.
--- Violín - Guitarra Instrumental ---
Prefiero tener a Jesús que el aplauso de los hombres
Prefiero ser fiel a su querida causa
Prefiero tener a Jesús que las cosas mundanas
Prefiero ser fiel a su santo nombre.
En lugar de ser un rey del mejor dominio
O ser atrapado en el temor al pecado
Prefiero tener a Jesús que cualquier cosa
Que este mundo ofrezca hoy...
