I Want Jesus More Than Anything
I want Jesus in my life
More than anything this world can offer me
For I know that He alone can satisfy
Just to know His leading in my life
Is worth everything that I might sacrifice
Oh, I want Jesus more than anything
Take the fame that I might want
And all the things that seem so dear
Id rather have Him than any praise
That men may give to me
I want Him to have control
And be the breath of life in me
Id rather have Jesus
Id rather have Him than anything
He had power without end
From the heavens He ruled the universe
Countless angels waited on His every call
But one day I saw Him all alone
On a road to death and untold agony
Just for me He suffered, oh, what a price He paid
Take the fame that I might want
And all the things that seem so dear
Id rather have Him than any praise
That men may give to me
I want Him to have control
And be the breath of life in me
Id rather have Jesus
Id rather have Him than anything
As I go on through life with Him
There can be no other way
Oh, I want Jesus more than anything
