One of the best choir songs ever written! Had the honor of singing this in a mass choir at a church convocation! We killed it & the spirit of God was so strong in that place! This brings back so many great memories! ❤️🔥🙌🏾
Fun fact: Kirk Franklin was the director of this choir. And another fun fact: the song “I Rather Have Jesus” was also revamp by Kirk Franklin’s own version from his first album “Silver and Gold” which is on the lyrics in this particular song
I am a 71 year old man. On October of 2022, I discovered this lovely song. My goodness mercy! What a jam! I am bless with this beautiful arrangement! What a talented choir! Great lead vocals! Great musicians! Love My Lord Jesus Christ! Thank you! Love all of you in Christ! Be bless! Bye for now!
BM courage my brother or sister remember you are the church the kingdom of God is in you and within you when you feel this song brought up in your spirit you know that you're giving God glory go and raise your voice open your mouth and give him praise the church building and its components have nothing to do with worshiping God be encouraged my sister
Hallelujah I'm sitting here driving my daughter to school and this song was in my spirit. I had already been in prayer and then Thanksgiving in my heart about my choices and telling Jesus yes and no to fear no condemnation no to my soul being lost. And it is very true I declare I rather have Jesus
When I see that people press the thumbs down on a video like this, I'm like, "What exactly don't you like??? The fact that it's not a live video with the choir actually singing? The color or font of the lyrics??? That the photos weren't crystal clear??? You know the lead singer personally and just don't like HIM??? That church??? Choirs in general???" Because who would just not like this song??? 💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️💁🏾♀️
This SO reminds of my teenage years in the 90s when I was part of the choir. These were the type of songs we sing! Now we barely have big choirs in church
This is TRUE gospel that I remember growing up with. Love it! This was the day of more unadulterated music that celebrated the magnificence and awesomeness of Jesus Christ! I miss this! I hear too many gospel songs these days that talk about "haters", "hating on me in Jesus name", and so many other things that take away the message of Jesus as our risen savior and puts the focus on us! The devil is a lie and I am so thankful that there are those that are continuing to press towards the mark.
I LOVE THIS SONG WHEN I AM WITH JESUS MY FEAR IS GONE IN THE GREAT QUIET OF GOD.MY TROUBLES ARE AS PEBBLES ON THE ROAD.MY JOYS ARE LIKE THE EVERLASTING HILLS.
It is 2019, and I'm going through the exact same situation as this dear sister. This clip was sent to my choir to listen to & learn. I started reading the comments and I know God directed me to this! Thank you God for responding to my current situation. My times are in your hands
My choir at my church, Perfecting, sings this and when my Pastor gets a hold of it.......watch out. Here comes the Holy Ghost. I just love this song. There is nothing like a choir that can sing.
+Keith Jackson They probably don't feel the song. There are a lot of gospel songs that I don't feel the spirit to. Yes, I understand it's about Jesus but this song right here is not doing anything to my spirit. I don't particularly like contemporary gospel.
All I can say this morning I just 😘💕😘💕😘💕😘😘😘😘💕 this song right here and yessssssssss I rather have Jesus More Than anything Ever. He Goresure Indeed Bought this Sista Outtttttttttttt Big big big Time. My lord my lord . Jesus my Savior. Glory hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah
LORD I STILL LOVE YOU LIKE THE FIRST I MET YOU BUT NOW I CAN SAY IT LIKE JOB, I'VE HEARD ABOUT YOU WITH HEARING OF THE EARS BUT NOW I KNOW YOU!!!" LORD THANK YOU FOR BEING ACCESSIBLE TO ME AND MY FAMILY AND FRIENDS!!!💜❤️💓
This song blessed me then, & it blessed me now!!! I'd rather have JESUS, any day of the week, every hour, of the day!! If you really rest in your spirit, it will groove you soulfully!🙏🙌😇
November 20 2021 and...It's all about Jesus Not I but Christ Thank You Jesus for blessing me with 44 years of life, two amazing children and prayer warriors.
Heeeeyyyy! This my jam..I rather have Jesus more than anything! A church came to visit ours and when their choir sung this it was holy ghost filled. I enjoyed myself in the Spirit. It was totally awesome!!!!talk about how he died for me on Calvary!!!! Yes!!!that's my part now!
Every time I hear this song it reminds me of Sister Donna Ward. She was the greatest! She was the Minister of Music for the Western Missouri Church of God In Christ Churches. What an awesome person! She taught us to sing!
Yes I truly rather have Jesus because he is my true Lord and savior the true lover of My soul me and my family souls and we rather have him truly more than anything he is our all and all and everything 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This song wright here just makes me soo happy inside it just brings about an unspeakable joy and warmest to my soul.. my lord my lord. Glory hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah hallelujah. Yessssss
We dont put enough emphasis on this- ITS A BLESSING JUST TO KNOW THE LORD IN THR PARDON OF OUR SINS!!!! SO MANY PPL WALKING AROUND HERE BLIND AND DONT KNOW IT! BUT THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HAS REVEALED THE TRUTH TO US AND HAD SOFTENED OUR HEART WHEREAS TO HE ALLOWED US TO ACCEPT THE TRUTH ANX LET IT GROW IN OUR HEART MIND BODY AND SOUL!!!!! ITS A BLESSING TO KNOW THE LORD! IT'S A BLESSING TO BE SAVED. ITS A BLESSING TO BELIEVE IN THE LORD JESUS CHRIST. ONLY HE CAN PROD OUR HEARTS SP WE CAN BELIEVE!
I remember back in the late 80's early 90's we would sing this and the praise would go up to the 3rd Heaven 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏Oh so many good memories Johnson's Temple COGIC Ft. Polk La, I was in the military station their so many great memories🙂

It’s just a great song. The melody is simple; the transitions are easy; the lyrics are fresh. It’s a great song with a great message.
Hallelujah I'm sitting here driving my daughter to school and this song was in my spirit. I had already been in prayer and then Thanksgiving in my heart about my choices and telling Jesus yes and no to fear no condemnation no to my soul being lost. And it is very true I declare I rather have Jesus
The 90s♥️🙏🏾really do miss them days!!

When choirs were just choirs! 🙋
What are they now?
@@camilsanders2010 just people trying to hit the runs and out sing each other
AMEN
without all the other stuff... lights, camera, action.... performance
It sure would be nice to have "church" music and choirs. This is some soul cleansing music. I prefer choirs than praise teams.
Truly a anointed song States that when you have Jesus you already have silver and gold because it belongs to him
This SO reminds of my teenage years in the 90s when I was part of the choir. These were the type of songs we sing! Now we barely have big choirs in church
This is TRUE gospel that I remember growing up with. Love it! This was the day of more unadulterated music that celebrated the magnificence and awesomeness of Jesus Christ! I miss this!
