There is something to be said about an old hymn, I love them! I guess I can blame my parents and grandparents for that!! No, really that is part of the reason why I love them so much. There are so many memories attached to the old hymns. For me there a lot of memories where I remember hearing the old groups come to our church when I was a child and listen to them sing. Also, hearing my mom, dad and grandparents sing and worship the Lord with the dear hymns. My Granddaddy watches all the Gaither videos and I love to sit and watch with him. To see him be so moved by the words, it's indescribable and priceless.

Today as I was cleaning the house I put one of my Gaither videos in and heard this song. It really blessed me today. I hope the words will minister to you too!

I'd Rather Have Jesus
Rhea F. Miller, George Beverly Shea

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

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

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

Do you love the old hymns? Please comment back to me, I love your feedback!!
