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 hands
Than to be the king of a best domain and beheld in sins dread sway
I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today
[ vibes ]
I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than world wide things I'd rather be true to his holy name
Than to be the king...
Being a Christian is the best
! ! ! ! ! ! !
Not just saying I am Christian, one has to do what our lord said.
Am leaving a comment here so when someone likes ; it reminds me of this song. And the one who shared this song with me 😢. It was her mother's favourite song ; who had long passed away.Thank you @kittyvanlalhruaii9030 this song gives me hopes, motivation and the strength to move on during my times of hardship and despair.
Amen Lord 🎉 thank you the world isn't my home yes
Not to have a critical spirit, but this song speaks more to me in 3 minutes than 30 minutes of a lot of contemporary Christian music.
You wrote this by the Holy Spirit
Agreed!
Absolutely agree.
Praise the Lord.
Same here!!!!!!!!
Same here!!
Oohhh😭😭 I'd have Jesus than anything this world afford today 🙏. I can't be tired of listening to this Song.
A song that can humble me whenever I listen to it.
Paise God for giving us his gift on the cross ..outstanding lyrics
💯🤲🏻🙏🏻ALL PRAISES AND THANKS BE TO OUR HEAVENLY KING GOD ALMIGHTY FOREVER AND EVER.
💯🤲🏻🙏🏻AMEN
💯🙏🏻🤲🏻 AMEN .
I’m a 70’s child. He was one of my dad’s favorite singers, every Sunday we would wake up to his songs. I feel such peace listening to his songs. I love them all and still listen to them.
Same here... Engraved in my memory for ever!!
Im a 70s child too...my granny had this record and we listened to him on Sundays...
I came to be 20 years afterwards. Still, I can also appreciate its beauty.
Heard the Brazilian version (which is quite a bit diferent) and came to check the original. Not disappointed 🙂.
Sharon Miller: Like you, I'm a '70s child and vividly remember my late mother playing Jim Reeves Songs. However, it was his Secular music that she played. I discovered his AMAZING Gospel Music on my own, in my middle age.
Lovely music,song...
Thats so true.❤️❤️❤️🌹🕊️🙏
I remember my grandfather singing this hymn, then my mother. Jesus has a message that goes on and on. All those who put their trust in Him will see Him again.
Hello Diane how you doing today hope you had a great and wonderful day today 😊😊
Diane...Proverbs 📙 3 vs 5 thru 7 😀🌿🌎🕯️
SOON!!!
Amen
Jesus is my Everything.
Jesus still had the red marks on his hands in heaven its a sign of how much he loves us
(I Was Raised in a Home whereby My Mother was a Deep Christian Listening to Jim Reeves Worship Songs. I had no Clue about Salvation and Eternal Life. My Mom placed her Children in Church and Sunday School at a very tender age. I drifted Away from the Christian Values and only got Saved in 1998 at the age of 41 yrs by God's Grace, Mercy and Love. It took me a while to Experience Christian Growth and Development. Thus a Song of this Nature gives me a A Clear Earthly and Eternal Revelation and Education that Having Precious and Wonderful Jesus Christ in your Life is Much more important than Earthly and Material achievements Such as Gold,Houses,Land, Millionaire Status that are all Temporary Earthly success with no Eternal Value or Rewards from Almighty God.

This song is written by prince Oscar of Sweden. He was a new bourne christian and was a leader of an evangelical movement in Sweden. When he met his bride to be he had to abdicate from the right of the crown because she was’nt a royalty. He wrote this song for their wedding
This song I'll rather have Jesus hymn was written in 1922 by Rhea F. Miller with the music composed by George Beverly Shea.
@@tonieantoniapadrique8900 i know she claim to have written this song but it is not true. She might have found the lyrics translated somewhere and then got the music composed for it. It is well documentet in the Royal documentation in Sweden. I believe that the same happen to this song as was close to happen to ” How great thou art”. The song is written by the swedish Carl G Boberg. Then it was translated to english. 1 million swedes immigrate to America in 1800 a lots of them devoted christians. They sang their songs that got translated to english. Later someone took “How great thou art” back to Sweden and because it had no name under the lyrics it was almost translated back to swedish claimed to be american. Someone discovered the error and corrected it.
Amazing love story. God's love is unfathomable..Prince Oscar ,you are chosen to be one of Gods follower. PRAISES AND ALL GLORY to GOD...
@@tonieantoniapadrique8900 I’d rather have Jesus was written by Prince Oscar Bernadotte in 1888, and not by Rhea Miller. This song was being sung in the 1880’s and 1890’s in Sweden. This was thirty plus years before the so called Rhea Miller’s claim. For argument’s sake; if Rhea Miller had written this beautiful Christian song, she would have penned it, “ Than to be a Queen of a vast domain “ emphasis on Queen. God Bless, just my two cents…..🙏🙏🙏
Thank you for this explanatory history of this beautiful song. Awesome.
Glory to God Hallelujah 🙏 I'd rather have Jesus Amen 🙏
Jesus is the King of my heart. Thank you Jesus for being born, dying and rising again, just for us. Tha you Jesus, God and the Holy Spirit. XxxxxScotland
The country which use to love Jesus, read their Bible, go to church and have fellowship with other Christians. Xxxxxm

"I'd Rather Have Jesus"
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,
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...
Amen...
6/17/2023: After a restLESS night, I am having a pretty late start to THIS blessed 🙌🏿 day. However, I joyfully Thank My Lord And Savior Jesus Christ for protecting me through the tossing-and-turning, on to the WELCOMED daylight. Hallelujah!

Just, beautiful!
I feel blessed listening this beautiful song.
I love this evergreen and everlasting song, as also many such soulful songs of Jim Reeves. Such peace and tranquility! It elevates your soul to lofty realms. Please note some typos and inaccuracies in the Lyrics/subtitles:
- king of a VAST domain (not 'best')
- and be held in sin's great sway
- worldwide FAME (not 'world wide things')
- houses or lands (to rhyme with 'hands')
The favorite american singer of my dad. Rest in peace sweet Daddy. Love you for ever
Thank you for the lyrics. I heard the tune of the chorus in my spirit this morning but I never knew the words of the song.
Listening to it, our hearts are filled with gratitude ❤ and we can rejoice in our one and only true,living and loving God❤
I have loved this song because it comforts me whenever I go through some challenges in life.
