I'd Rather Have Jesus by ‪@GaitherMusic‬ as sung by ‪@DCLMAmsterdam‬ 's choir

Lyrics.
Men strive for the wealth of this wide, wicked world.
They seek after honor and fame.
So lavishly sporting their diamonds and pearls,
They put the dear Savior to shame.

Chorus:

I rather live in Heaven than to own all earth's silver and gold.
I'd rather have Jesus than the diamonds of a palace to hold.
I'd rather be a beggar and live in a little shack by the road.
Than to own all earth's treasures with no title to a future abode.

They seem not to know that their treasures will rust
And thieves often break through and steal.
Contented with pleasure, they follow their lusts,
Though sorrow their destiny seals.

Chorus:
I rather live in Heaven than to own all earth's silver and gold.
I'd rather have Jesus than the diamonds of a palace to hold.
I'd rather be a beggar and live in a little shack by the road.
Than to own all earth's treasures with no title to a future abode.

What profit is found in earth's silver and gold.
How sad at the close of life's day.
If for the exchange, one must lose his own soul;
From Heaven's Door be turned away.

Our church has a singular mission to proclaim the simple, saving Gospel of Jesus Christ in its pure form.

Our purpose is to lead many to salvation from sin through the knowledge of Jesus, to build them up as steadfast believers, and to engage them in the work of Christ.

Our foundation is the Bible. We believe in taking the Word of God at its face value, teaching it with all diligence and building our entire lives and affairs on it.

Our preaching is simple, scriptural and serious. We believe the old-fashioned message is as relevant today as it was to the initial audience. "Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever."

Feel free to contact us and worship with us and that will give us an opportunity to know you better.

May the Lord bless you richly!
