Gospel Music Association Awards.[80]
I’d Rather Have Jesus – is a song written by Rhea F. Miller
I’d Rather Have Jesus – The Lyrics
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 lands,
I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand.
Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway,
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.
I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,
I’d rather be true to His holy name.
He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out of the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs,
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
I’d Rather Have Jesus – The Bible’s Support
This hymn is about dedication and commitment. To follow after Jesus is
costly. Matthew 16:24-26 says: “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If
anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross
and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but
whoever loses his life for me will find it. What good will it be for a
man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can a
man give in exchange for his soul?’” I’d rather have Jesus than silver
or gold. . .
Philippians 1:21 reminds us: “For to me, to live is Christ and to die
is gain.” I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead. . .
Philippians 3:8 says, “What is more, I consider everything a loss
compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord,
for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I
may gain Christ.” I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame, I’d
rather be true to His holy name. . .

Another wonderful song that inspires is @
http://www.cyberhymnal.org/htm/i/f/iftpearl.htm
I’ve found the Pearl of greatest price,
My heart doth sing for joy;
And sing I must, for Christ is mine;
Christ shall my song employ.
Christ is my Prophet, Priest and King;
A Prophet full of light,
My great High Priest before the throne,
My King of heav’nly might.
For He indeed is Lord of lords,
And He the King of kings;
He is the Sun of righteousness,
With healing in His wings.
Christ is my Peace; He died for me,
For me He gave His blood;
And as my wondrous Sacrifice,
Offered Himself to God.
Christ Jesus is my All in all,
My Comfort and my Love,
My Life below, and He shall be
My Joy and Crown above.
John.3
[16] For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son,
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have
everlasting life.
Is there good reason to have this hope ? Yes, much assurance can be
found in the Bible and Messianic Prophecies:
Messianic Prophecy: Review the incredible evidence that Jesus of
Nazareth is promised Messiah
Be assured that these prophecies were not conspired after-the-fact.

Messianic Prophecy: Investigate the statistical odds that one man
would fulfill every single one of them in this sample of just seven.
