Lyrics
Silver and gold
Silver and gold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
No fame or fortune
Nor riches untold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
Don’t give me a mansion
On top of the hill
Don’t give me the world
With a shallow thrill
But just give me a savior
My life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
I woke up this morning
Feeling kind of down
I called on my best friend
She could not be found
But I called on Jesus
My life He can hold
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
For unto us a child is born
A son is given
I’d rather have Jesus
What profits a man to gain the whole world and lose His soul
I’d rather have Jesus
For there’s no other name given under heaven
Whereby we must be saved
I’d rather have Jesus
He’s the only one that can save you
I’d rather have Jesus than silver and gold
The lyrics convey a message of unwavering faith and praise towards the Lord, regardless of circumstances. The song emphasizes praising God in both good and challenging times, highlighting the sovereignty and faithfulness of God. The biblical reference is likely rooted in Psalm 150:6 (Let everything that has breath praise the Lord) and the story of Jericho in Joshua 6:20, where the walls fell after the Israelites shouted in faith.
