I'd rather be His than have riches untold

I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand
[Refrain]
        D7               C      G

And be held in sin's dread sway

[Verse 3]
     G                     C      G
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom

                                     D7
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb

     G                     C      G
He's all that my hungering spirit needs

I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead

And be held in sin's dread sway

                           C   G
I'd rather have Jesus than anything

             D7      G
