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

Blessed Assurance Lyrics

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine
Oh what a foretaste of glory divine
Heir of salvation, purchase of God
Born of His Spirit, washed in His blood

This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long
This is my story, this is my song
Praising my Savior all the day long

Perfect submission, all is at rest
I in my Savior am happy and blessed
Watching and waiting, looking above
Filled with His goodness, lost in His love

I Love To Tell The Story Lyrics

Song by The Oak Ridge Boys

I love to tell the story
Of unseen things above
Of Jesus and his glory, of Jesus and his love
I love to tell the story
Because I know ’tis true
It satisfies my longing as
Nothing else would do

I love to tell the story
’twill be my theme in glory to tell the old
Old story of Jesus and his love

I love to tell the story
More wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of
All our golden dreams
I love to tell the story
It did so much for me
And that is just the reason I
Tell it now to thee

I love to tell the story for
Those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear
It like the rest
And when in scenes of glory I
Sing the new new song
‘Twill be the old old story that
I have loved so long
