  • • 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
    Yes I'd rather be led by his nail pierced hands
    Than to be the king of a best domain and beheld in sins dread sway
    I'd rather have Jesus than anything this world affords today
    [ vibes ]
    I'd rather have Jesus than worldly applause I'd rather be faithful to his dear cause
    I'd rather have Jesus than world wide things I'd rather be true to his holy name
    Than to be the king...

    Am leaving a comment here so when someone likes ; it reminds me of this song. And the one who shared this song with me 😢. It was her mother's favourite song ; who had long passed away.Thank you @kittyvanlalhruaii9030 this song gives me hopes, motivation and the strength to move on during my times of hardship and despair.

    (I Was Raised in a Home whereby My Mother was a Deep Christian Listening to Jim Reeves Worship Songs. I had no Clue about Salvation and Eternal Life. My Mom placed her Children in Church and Sunday School at a very tender age. I drifted Away from the Christian Values and only got Saved in 1998 at the age of 41 yrs by God's Grace, Mercy and Love. It took me a while to Experience Christian Growth and Development. Thus a Song of this Nature gives me a A Clear Earthly and Eternal Revelation and Education that Having Precious and Wonderful Jesus Christ in your Life is Much more important than Earthly and Material achievements Such as Gold,Houses,Land, Millionaire Status that are all Temporary Earthly success with no Eternal Value or Rewards from Almighty God.

It is well documentet in the Royal documentation in Sweden. I believe that the same happen to this song as was close to happen to ” How great thou art”. The song is written by the swedish Carl G Boberg. Then it was translated to english. 1 million swedes immigrate to America in 1800 a lots of them devoted christians. They sang their songs that got translated to english. Later someone took “How great thou art” back to Sweden and because it had no name under the lyrics it was almost translated back to swedish claimed to be american. Someone discovered the error and corrected it.
