Jesus. My savior. I love to reflect on the many names the Bible gives to Jesus. I can't imagine my life without Him at the center. He gives me purpose. He gives me direction. I am certain of my salvation. I am no different than the next person, yet I find myself living in a different land with the sole purpose of showing people the love of Jesus. Why? Because He has called me to be here. This is not an attempt to preach at you, my blog readers. It is simply me expressing my gratitude for all that Jesus has done in my life. I hope and pray that His love pours out of my life, touching all those I meet with His love and compassion.
I'd Rather Have Jesus than anything...
This song has always been one of my favorites. It expresses my heart. I found Michael English performing it on YouTube. The lyrics follow.
I’d Rather Have Jesus – The Lyrics
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.
