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.
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.
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, this song was introduced to me by a Pastor. I was 13 years old 1998 just a new Christian. I have to finish my chores otherwise mother won’t allow me to go Sunday Service and Bible study, then walk about 5miles No shoes just a flipflop. I sang this song in the congregation.
I'm a 90s child I grow up listening to him reeves music my dad may the lord Jesus bless his soul in his kingdom my dad was a lover of Jim reeves and grow up listening to Jim reeves my dad was a Christian I will always love Jesus and follow him weather my mom is Hindu and she don't like me for it I will always follow Jesus Christ the son of god
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.
28September2024 - I went to a little Baptist Church in Washington, DC in the 70's that sang this song and it came to my mind this morning. Even though it been over 40 years ago when I first heard this song, I still rather have Jesus, than this world.😊❤
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

From Indonesia, To Love Lord Jesus Christ much more than anything else.., n every single moment breath of my life Just HaiL up HIS GLORIOUS NAME OF LORD YESHUA HAMMASHIACH..
From my child hood days 70s, back in benin city , nigeria .It has become more appealing now as the world system is fast crumbling and failing all over , Thank you father.
In my childhood days, our family used to listen to this spiritual by Jim Reeves in the late 60's and early 70's, back in my birth country, Sri Lanka. It was also one of the most requested songs on Radio Ceylon, subsequently Sri Lanka broadcasting Corporation. Thank you for sharing.
(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. (🙏🛐📖✝️)
"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...
5/4/22: I was trying to sing this from memory, while lying calmly in my bed. Didn't commit the lyrics as well as I thought so, I had to reach for this Android. Thankful that I have THAT option. 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
Jim Reeves gospel is the best thing and I am glad l have been given the opportunity to listen 🎶 to him 🙏🏽 he is one of God's angels 😇 in the Choir of heaven 3:05

I thank God for such inspiring and soul healing music....God bless the composer and all who make the promises of the music theirs....We pray to meet in Heaven.
It's true sometimes we slept late just to compensate what we lost or missed but with Jesus Christ there's contentment so timely message in song. Praise God thanks to the composer. As a plant artist so inspiring for me to reflect on how God relief us thru nature and as Naturopathic physician I can relate on such amazing wordings of the song.
Actual lyrics are as follows: "vast" domain instead of [best domain] and "be held" instead of [beheld] and "Fame" instead of [things]. I hope you don't mind. Thank you for the video. My mother loved Jim Reeves and played his LPs often, so I grew up listening to his velvet voice. 😊
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

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.

- worldwide FAME (not 'world wide things')
- houses or lands (to rhyme with 'hands')
