Would You Rather?

Would you rather? Is a game that I've been playing since childhood. In the game, you're faced with two options that you would never want to experience and you're forced to choose. For example:

Would you rather have really good looking teeth with horrible breath, or would your rather have really ugly teeth but fresh breath?

Would you rather have your eyes glued open forever or have your eyes shut forever?

Would you rather be able to fly, or would you rather have the ability to fly?

Sure, the questions are all fun and hypothetical, but what do we do when we are faced with the ultimate would you rather question: Would you rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today?

I was stunned at the boldness of this song. I hope and pray and ask God that He would make this true in my life. How about you?

I’d Rather Have Jesus
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 lands,
I’d rather be led by His nail pierced hand.

Than to be a king of a vast domain
Or be held in sin’s dread sway,
I’d rather have Jesus than anything
This world affords today.

I’d rather have Jesus than men’s applause;
I’d rather be faithful to His dear cause;
I’d rather have Jesus than world-wide fame,
I’d rather be true to His holy name.

He’s fairer than lilies of rarest bloom;
He’s sweeter than honey from out of the comb;
He’s all that my hungering spirit needs,
I’d rather have Jesus and let Him lead.
