Ward's Songs

I'D RATHER HAVE JESUS

I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold.
I'd rather have him that have monkeys untold.
I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands.
I' rather have him than have warts on my hands.

I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause.
I'd rather have him than to star in "Jaws".
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame.
I'd rather have him than a lion to tame.

I'd rather have Jesus than big strong abs.
I'd rather have him than have herpes or crabs.
I'd rather have Jesus than a big fast car.
I'd rather have him than my head in a jar.

CHORUS:
Or over the whole wide world be king,
Or in the Mormon choir to sing.
I'd rather have Jesus than anything
To add to my zoo today.
