Silver and gold, silver and gold

I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune, nor riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Don’t give me a mansion on top of the hill
Don’t give me the world with a shallow thrill
But just give me a Savior, my life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Woke up this morning, feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend, she could not be found
But I called on Jesus, my life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold

Silver and gold, silver and gold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune, nor riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus

For unto us a Child is born, a Son is given
I’d rather have Jesus
You see what profits a man to gain
The whole wide world and lose his soul
I’d rather have Jesus

In the midnight hour when my body is rocking with pain
I’d rather have Jesus, I’d rather have Jesus
The Son of Man, the King of kings
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold

I’d rather have Jesus, I don’t need a fancy car
I don’t even have to have a diamond ring
Hey, but give me Jesus in the midnight hour
When all of my money is gone

I can call on Jesus, hey
And I know He’ll answer, I know He’ll answer
He’s the only One that can save your soul
He can [Incomprehensible] heart, He can [Incomprehensible] you
I’d rather have Jesus, I’d rather have Jesus

I’d rather have Jesus, I don’t need nobody
Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hail, He’s the only One to save you
