I'd Rather Have Jesus - Piano Accompaniment / Karaoke Lyric Video

Описание: An original accompaniment arrangement of I'd Rather Have Jesus, originally attributed to George Beverly Shea & Rhea F. Miller and now in the public domain. Performed and recorded on my Roland RD-700NX.

I know solid music resources can be a challenge for a smaller congregation so I'm happy to make this available to you! So whether you're looking to learn a new song or need a worship video complete with lyrics for your Sunday morning service, enjoy!

This recording is how I would play it Sunday morning for a congregation to sing to. And since I won't be playing melody this time around, sing along!

Arrangement:
1. Verse 1
2. Chorus
3. Verse 2
4. Chorus
5. Verse 3
6. Chorus

Performance Notes
a) 70 BPM
b) In C (to try to put it in a key accessible by most males and females).
c) The ending starts right on the "today" of the last chorus--just sing it like you normally would and cut the note off before the next chord change and you'll be good to go!

VERSE 1
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

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

VERSE 2
I'd rather have Jesus than men's applause
I'd rather be faithful to His dear cause
I'd rather have Jesus than worldwide fame
I'd rather be true to His holy name

VERSE 3
He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
I'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead
