I'd Rather Have Jesus

This deeply personal and devotional hymn that expresses a believer's wholehearted preference for Christ over all the riches, honors, and pleasures the world can offer has a central theme of spiritual priority and surrender. It contrasts earthly gain--such as wealth, fame, or power--with the surpassing worth of a relationship with Christ Jesus which brings a deeper, lasting joy that far outweighs anything material or temporary. This beautifully gentle and expressively reflective arrangement encourages believers to examine their own values and to choose Christ above all else. It can be played with or without the piano accompaniment.
