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
Yes, 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 worldly applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
'Cause 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
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Don't want to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin's dread sway
You're the One I want to build my life
On a rock that will not shake
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me (Jesus), oh!
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
Just give me Jesus
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing that's good in this world lasts forever
Nothing, but Jesus
