Silver and gold   Silver and gold   I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold   No fame or fortune   Nor riches untold   I would 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
