Silver and gold, Silver and gold I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold No fame or fortune, Nor riches untold I'd 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 savior, my life He can hold I'd rather have Jesus than silver and gold 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 Silver and gold, silver and gold I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold No fame or fortune, nor riches untold I’d rather have Jesus For unto us a child is born, a son is given I'd rather have Jesus You see what profits a man to gain The whole wide world and lose his soul I'd rather have Jesus In the midnight hour when my body is rocking with pain I’d rather have Jesus, I’d rather have Jesus The son of man, the king of kings I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold I’d rather have Jesus, I don’t need a fancy car I don’t even have to have a diamond ring Hey, but give me Jesus in the midnight hour When all of my money is gone I can call on Jesus, hey And I know he’ll answer, I know he’ll answer He’s the only one that can save your soul He can [Incomprehensible] heart, He can [Incomprehensible] you I’d rather have Jesus, I’d rather have Jesus I’d rather have Jesus, I don’t need nobody Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hail, He’s only one to save you
