Silver And Gold

(album: Kirk Franklin And The Family - 1993)

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 saviour
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

(Silver and Gold)
Silver and gold
(Oh)
Silver and gold
(I'd rather have Jesus)
I'd rather have Jesus than (silver) silver and gold
(No fame or fortune)
No fame or fortune
(Nor riches)
Nor riches untold
(I'd rather)
I'd rather have Jesus

(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
(In the midnight hour, when my body is rocking with pain, I'd rather have Jesus)
I'd rather have Jesus
(I'd rather have Jesus, the Son of Man, the King of kings)
I'd rather have Jesus
(Than silver)
Than silver and gold
(I'd rather have Jesus)
Gold
(I don't need a fancy car)
Gold
(I don't even have to have a diamond ring)
Gold
(Hey-ay-ay, forgive me Jesus)
Gold
(In the midnight hour)
Gold
(When all of my money is gone)
Gold
(I can call on Jesus)
Gold
(Hey-ay-ay, and I know He'll answer)
Gold
(I know He'll answer)
Gold
(He's the only one that can save your soul)
Gold
(He can make you whole, He can deliver you)
Gold
(Hey-ay-ay)
Gold
(I'd rather have Jesus)
Gold
(I'd rather have Jesus)
Gold
(Oh-oh, Oh-oh)
Gold
(Oh-oh)
Gold
(Hey-hey)
Gold
(I'd rather have Jesus)
Gold
(I don't need no money)
Gold
(Oh-oh-oh)
Gold
(Heyyyyy)
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hey
