I’d Rather Have Jesus Lyrics

Song by Jim Reeves

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 land
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

I’d rather have Jesus than worldly applause
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause
I’d rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
Yes, I’d rather be true to His holy name

Than to be the king of a vast domain
And be held in sin’s dread sway
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today

Rock of Ages Lyrics

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee
Let the water and the blood
From Thy wounded side which flowed
Be of sin the double cure

Save from wrath and make me pure
Not the labors of my hands
Can fulfill Thy law’s demands
Could my zeal no respite know
Could my tears forever flow
All for sin could not atone
Thou must save, and Thou alone

While I draw this fleeting breath
When mine eyes shall close in death
When I soar to worlds unknown
See beyond Thy judgment throne

Rock of Ages, cleft for me
Let me hide myself in Thee

Just a Little Talk With Jesus Lyrics

I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in
And then a little light from heaven fill my soul
He bathed my heart in love and He wrote my name above
And just a little talk with Jesus makes me whole

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin’
And you will know a little fire is burnin’
Find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

I may have doubts and fears
My eyes be filled with tears
But Jesus is a friend who watches day and night
I go to him in prayer
He knows my every care
And just a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin’
And you will know a little fire is burnin’
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right

Now let us have a little talk with Jesus
Let us tell Him all about our troubles
He will hear our faintest cry
And He will answer by and by

And when you feel a little prayer wheel turnin’
And you will know a little fire is burnin’
You will find a little talk with Jesus makes it right
Right, right, right

“The Prodigal Son,” performed by The Cathedrals featuring Glenn Payne, is a stirring rendition that brings to life one of the most beloved parables from the Bible. The story of the Prodigal Son, which is found in Luke 15:11-32, revolves around the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and unconditional love. Through Payne’s powerful voice and the ensemble’s harmonies, the performance captures the emotional journey of the wayward son who, after squandering his inheritance on reckless living, returns home in shame and regret.

Known for their rich harmonies and powerful vocal arrangements, the group became a staple in the southern gospel genre. Their distinctive blend of traditional hymns and contemporary songs resonated with audiences, earning them numerous awards and accolades over the years. From 1964 through 1999, a group many cite as the finest example of Southern Gospel quartet singing ever, toured the nation and the world. The Cathedrals, a Christian quartet that consisted of Ernie Haase, Scott Fowler, Glen Payne, George Younce, Danny Funderburk, and Roger Bennett, hailed from the south and started in 1964. Their charismatic performances and heartfelt messages captured the hearts of fans across the United States and beyond. The Cathedrals’ influence can still be felt today, as they paved the way for many modern gospel artists. They disbanded in 1999, but their legacy endures through timeless recordings and the continued appreciation of their music by new generations of listeners.

The Prodigal Son Lyrics


1. Like the prodigal son I wandered in darkness
And I traded my life for a world of good time
No peace in my heart I ever could find
And I got so tired feeding after the swine

(Chorus)
So I believe I’ll go home and eat with the Father
The table is spread and they’re waiting for me
I can see the Father coming out to greet me
“Lord I’m willing to be just a servant for Thee”

2. Like the prodigal son I wandered from Jesus
But the Good Shepherd saw through the heat and the cold
The ninety and nine He left in the fold
Just to find this lost sheep that was hungry and cold
