Story Behind The Song

This song was written as a result of my wanting to find a way to share God's love for mankind. And then I started to reflect on the precious gift, Jesus Christ life, for me and you. And because of His sacrifice I'd rather have Jesus than anything this w

Song Description

This song is a medley of three songs. I wrote the first part of the song and the other two are hymns that minister to me.

Lyrics

Verse:
What are those things they say
Those horrible things they say
They say Your not real
Don?t understand how I feel
How can I let them know
To me the love You showed

Verse:
They say that Your just a man
Your love they can?t comprehend
Why you?d die on a tree
To set sinners free
How do I let them know
To me the love You showed

Chorus:
Jesus, He washed my sins away
That?s why I praise Him everyday
Even before the world began
God had a plan!
He looked through time and saw me there
And saw the pain that I would bare
Even before I had a name
Jesus, He washed my sins away.

There is a fountain
There is a fountain filled with blood
Drawn from Emmanuel?s vein
And sinners plunge beneath the flood
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
Lose all their guilty stains
And sinners plunge beneath the flood
Lose all their guilty stains

I?d Rather Have Jesus
I?d rather have Jesus than silver or gold
I?d rather be His then have riches untold
I?d rather have Jesus than houses or land
I?d rather be lead by His nailed pierced hands
Then to be a queen of a vast domain
Or be held in sin?s dread sway
I?d rather have Jesus than anything
this old world affords today
