Smoking Popes Lyrics
"I'd Rather Have Jesus"

I'd rather have Jesus
Than silver or gold
I'd rather be his
Than have riches unfold
I'd rather have Jesus
Than houses or land
I'd rather be lead
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
The world affords today

I'd rather have Jesus
Than people'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)

I would rather have Jesus than anything
The world affords today
