You Can Have All This World...Just Give Me Jesus

When I come into contact with the rich folks that act snobby, I often find myself singing this song.  Then I start to feel sorry for them because they think they have it all but when they are on their death bed ... their riches can’t save them and they leave this world like how they entered ... empty hands and naked.  What a shocker it will be for them expecting the next life to remain the same with the special status, luxury and easy living ... nope!   The opposite will happen ... they will be envying us and regretting living a wasted self centered life. :yes:

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

[Chorus]

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

[Chorus]

The mindset of thinking of ourselves as His favorite speaks of a personal and individual love He has for each of us!
