1.我宁愿要耶稣不要金钱，我宁愿属主不要财富无边，
我宁愿要耶稣不要房产，我宁愿让祂钉痕手搀扶。
2.我宁愿要耶稣不要虚荣，我宁愿尽忠终身做主事工，
我宁愿要耶稣不要美名，我宁愿忠诚宣扬主圣名。
3.主远比百合花美丽鲜艳，祂更比新鲜下滴的蜜甘甜，
我饥渴的心灵急需要祂，我愿要耶稣终身跟随祂。
（副歌）
不愿作君王统治天下，而被罪恶所苦害，
我宁愿要耶稣不要尘世，美名权势地位。

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;
I’d rather be led by His nail-pierced hand:

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:
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:
