Version 1
[Verse]
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold
C/E F F#m7 G
I'd rather be His than have riches un-told
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or land
Gm6/Bb A7sus A7 Fm/Ab C/G G7 C
I'd rather be led----- by His nail-pierced hand
G7 Am F C
Than to be the king of a vast domain
G7 F/C C
Or be held in sin's dread sway
C C/Bb F/A C/G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
F#m7(b5) C/G G7sus G7 G7sus C
This world affords to day
C C7 F C
He’s Fairer Than Lilies Of Rarest Bloom
C/E F F#m G
He’s Sweeter Than Honey From Out The Comb
C C7 F C
He’s All That My Hungering Spirit Needs
Gm6/Bb A7sus A7 Fm/Ab C/G G7
I’d Rather Have Jesus And Let Him Lead
G7 Am F C
Than to be the king of a vast domain
G7 F/C C
And be held in sin's dread sway
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause
C/E F F#m G
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
C C7 F C
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Gm6/Bb A7sus A7 Fm/Ab C/G G7
Yes, I'd rather be true to His holy name
G7 Am F C
Than to be the king of a vast domain
G7 F/C C
And be held in sin's dread sway
C C/Bb F/A C/G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
F#m7(b5) C/G G7sus G7 G7sus C
This world affords to day
