I'D Rather Have Jesus

I’d Rather Have Jesus…

I’d rather have Jesus 
than riches or gold!
I’d rather have him than
 anything in this world!

I’d rather have Jesus than 
any kind of wealth!
He’s brought to my life healing
and good health!

I’d rather have Jesus than 
anyone I know!
His blessings in me, 
is what he wants to bestow!

I’d rather have Jesus than what 
anyone could give!
He is has given an abundance 
of love each day I live!

I’d rather have Jesus instead 
of being “famous!”
The life that he brings to me… 
 Is rather gracious!

I’d rather have Jesus!  
My soon and coming king!
H’s life for mine is what 
he does bring!

Won’t you accept this same Jesus!  
He loves you so much!
You’ll never be the same 
after his special touch!

Jim, I love reading your poetry so much. I am on my way to the doctor right now for bloodwork. I hope I have time to read more when I return home. Thank you for writing and sharing. Love, Carol
