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

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

(Background singing"Gold" until the end)

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 mend your heart,

He can make you new

I'd rather have Jesus,

I'd rather have Jesus

I'd rather have Jesus,

I don't need nobody

Hallelujah, Hallelujah,

Hallelujah, Hallelujah

He's the only One to save you
