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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Preferiría tener a Jesús
Prefiero tener a Jesús que plata u oro
Prefiero ser Suyo que tener riquezas incontables
Prefiero tener a Jesús que casas o tierras
Prefiero ser guiado por Su mano perforada
Que ser el rey de un vasto dominio
Y ser retenidos en el temor de la influencia del pecado
Preferiría tener a Jesús que a nada
Este mundo ofrece hoy
Prefiero tener a Jesús que aplausos de los hombres
Prefiero ser fiel a Su querida causa
Prefiero tener a Jesús que a fama mundial
Prefiero ser fiel a Su santo nombre
Que ser el rey de un vasto dominio
Y ser retenidos en el temor de la influencia del pecado
Preferiría tener a Jesús que a nada
Este mundo ofrece hoy
Es más justo que los lirios de la flor más rara
Es más dulce que la miel del peine
Él es todo lo que mi espíritu hambriento necesita
Preferiría tener a Jesús y dejarlo guiar
Que ser el rey de un vasto dominio
Y ser retenidos en el temor de la influencia del pecado
Preferiría tener a Jesús que a nada
Este mundo ofrece hoy
