George Younce, a beloved figure in the world of Southern Gospel music, is fondly remembered for his powerful voice and heartfelt performances. Among his most cherished songs is “Thanks to Calvary,” a poignant hymn that encapsulates themes of grace, redemption, and gratitude.

Originally penned by Bill and Gloria Gaither, “Thanks to Calvary” reflects on the transformative power of Christ’s sacrifice. In the song, the narrator expresses profound appreciation for how faith has changed their life—moving from despair to hope. George Younce’s rendition of this classic is particularly moving, as his deep, resonant voice brings an emotional depth that resonates with listeners.

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 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
