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 saviour

My life He can hold

I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold



I 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



For unto us a child is born

A son is given

I'd rather have Jesus

What profits a man to gain the whole world and loose His soul

I'd rather have Jesus

For there's no other name given under heaven

Whereby we must be saved

I'd rather have Jesus

He's the only one that can save you

I'd rather have Jesus than siver and gold
