“I’d Rather Have Jesus” – Beautiful Hymn by Gaither Campfire Homecoming

By

On August 14, 2024

In Gospel Music, Headline

This is a beautiful old hymn “I’d Rather Have Jesus” written by Luther G Presley in 1935. What a fitting song for the Gaither Campfire Homecoming with older folks singing by the campfire. It’s time that we should learn great hymn such as this! Be blessed.

The Gaither Vocal Band was founded in the early ’80s by renowned Christian music leader Bill Gaither. GVB became one of America’s leading southern gospel vocal groups. While Bill Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. Today, the Gaither Vocal Band roster is comprised of five power-packed voices, including Bill Gaither, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles and Reggie Smith.

I’D RATHER HAVE JESUS (Hymn)

Luther G Presley (1935)

  1. Men strive for the wealth of this wide, wicked world.
    They seek after honor and fame.
    So lavishly sporting their diamonds and pearls,
    They put the dear Savior to shame.

Chorus (after each verse)
I rather live in Heaven than to own all earth’s silver and gold.
I’d rather have Jesus than the diamonds of a palace to hold.
I’d rather be a beggar and live in a little shack by the road.
Than to own all earth’s treasures with no title to a future abode.

  1. They seem not to know that their treasures will rust
    And thieves often break through and steal.
    Contented with pleasure, they follow their lusts,
    Though sorrow their destiny seals.
  2. What profit is found in earth’s silver and gold.
    How sad at the close of life’s day.
    If for the exchange, one must lose his own soul;
    From Heaven’s Door be turned away.

Let Freedom Ring Lyrics

Deep within the heart has always known that there was freedom
Somehow breathed into the very soul of life
The prisoner, the powerless, the slave have always known it
There’s something that keeps reaching for the sky

And even life begins because a baby fights for freedom
And songs we love to sing have freedom’s theme
Some have walked through fire and flood to find a place of freedom
And some faced hell itself for freedom’s dream

Let freedom ring wherever minds know what it means to be in chains
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
We can be free and we can sing, let freedom ring

God built freedom into every fiber of creation
And He meant for us to all be free and whole
When my Lord bought freedom with the blood of His redemption
His cross stamped pardon on my very soul

I’ll sing it out with every breath, I’ll let the whole world hear it
This hallelujah anthem of the free
That iron bars and heavy chains can never hold us captive
The Son has made us free and free indeed

Let freedom ring down through the ages from a hill called Calvary
Let freedom ring wherever hearts know pain
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
Let freedom echo through the lonely streets where prisons have no key
You can be free and you can sing let freedom ring
You can be free and you can sing, let freedom ring, let freedom ring

This Is The Place

Gaither Vocal Band

Come, my child, there is a place
When you’re lost, you will be found
You’ll be safe, and you’ll belong
You will hear the sweetest sound

This is the place where we pray
This is the place where we cry
This is the place where we start
‘Til death do us part
Where we say goodbye

Here we leave all our pain
Find forgiveness and grace
Here we walk down the aisle
Dedicate every child
Here in this sacred place

Break some bread, come share the wine
At this table there is a place
Bring your fears, take His peace
Come and share this Holy space

This is the place where we pray
This is the place where we cry
This is the place where we start
‘Til death do us part
Where we say goodbye

Here we leave all our pain
Find forgiveness and grace
Here we walk down the aisle
Dedicate every child
Here in this sacred place

Holy, holy (holy, holy), holy, holy
God Almighty, Immanuel

This is the place where we pray
This is the place where we cry
This is the place where we start
‘Til death do us part
Where we say goodbye

Here we leave all our pain
Find forgiveness and grace
Here we walk down the aisle
Dedicate every child
Here in this sacred place

Holy, holy, holy

In Featured, Gospel Music, Headline

Let the Glory Come Down! That’s our desire when we worship the Lord in the splendor of His holiness. We need to experience Him in a beautiful presence when all worshipers are united and desiring Him. Watch and be blessed by this beautiful song performed live by one of today’s best gospel singers, David Phelps, a former member of the famous gospel quartet, The Gaither Vocal Band.

“The Gaither Vocal Band is an American southern gospel vocal group, named after its founder and leader Bill Gaither. Founded in the early ’80s, Gaither Vocal Band is one of America’s leading faith-based vocal groups. While Gaither remained the only original member of the ensemble, many well-regarded CCM/gospel singers have passed through the band’s ranks, including Russ Taff, Guy Penrod, Wes Hampton, Michael English, Mark Lowry, and David Phelps. On March 1, 2017, it was announced that the Gaither Vocal Band lineup consisted of Reggie Smith, Wes Hampton, Adam Crabb, Todd Suttles, and Bill Gaither.

Let the Glory Come Down Lyrics

Song by David Phelps

Here we stand with our hand up
High. (Let the glory come down.)
Give us a reason to testify. (Let
The glory come down.) Oh, break
The chains, tear down the walls.
(Let the glory come down.) We
Wanna feel it when the spirit falls.
(Let the glory come down.)

Oh, we sing glory, glory, let the
Glory come down. Oh, glory,
Glory, let the glory come down.

With a force that we can’t
Explain. (Let the glory come
Down.) Oh, let it fall like a holy
Rain. (Let the glory come down.)
OH, bring it on, bring it strong,
Bring us to our knees. (Let the
Glory come down.) Show us Your
Presence, Holy Spirit, please.
(Let the glory come down.)

Oh, we sing glory, glory, let the
Glory come down. Oh, glory
Glory, let the glory come down.

Oh, we sing glory, glory, let the
Glory come down. Oh, glory
Glory, let the glory come down.

Now we’re gonna praise His
Name. (Praise His holy name.)
Let the glory come down. (Praise
His holy name.) Let the glory
Come down. and down, and
Down. (Praise His holy name.)
Let the glory come down. (Praise
His holy name.) Praise Him, let
The glory come down.

There’s a hung down in our
Souls. (Let the glory come down.)
Glory, let us see where the glory
Rolls. (Let the glory come down.)

Oh, we sing glory, glory, let the
Glory come down. Oh, glory
Glory, let the glory come down.

Oh, we sing glory, glory, let the
Glory come down. Oh, glory
Glory, let the glory come down.

Break the chains – we want to
Testify. Bring it on, bring it
Strong. All the glory, let the glory
Come down.

Greatly Blessed, Highly Favoured Lyrics

Gaither Vocal Band

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God
Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God
Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God

Standing upright on God’s good earth
Count my blessings, great things He has done
Fighting the good fight with the blessed assurance
That the battle is already won

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God

Greatly Blessed and Highly Favoured
Imperfect but forgiven child of God
Child of God, I’m a child of God
