i'd rather have Jesus

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 lands
i'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hands

than to be the king of a vast domain
or be held in sin's dread sway
i'd rather have Jesus then anything-
this world affords today.

i'd rather have Jesus than man'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

than to be the king of a vast domain
or be held in sin's dread sway
i'd rather have Jesus then anything-
this world affords today.

He's fairer than lilies of rarest bloom
He's sweeter than honey from out the comb
He's all that my hungering spirit needs
i'd rather have Jesus and let Him lead

i'd rather have Jesus, than to be a king [or princess ;p] of a vast domain. (:

hahah i've been rebuked manyyyyyyyyy times in the course of these past three days. todays prayer meeting was on revival. praying for revival daily, constantly.

and i really see the Lord's grace and mercy in the grade i got for the closed memo. haha wayyy better than my horrendous D for my case summary. haha its things like these that remind me that He's keeping watch over me every moment of my life. and reminds me how i need to be so much more conscious of Him. haha and maybe this is a sign that i shouldnt transfer to smu accountancy ;p haha kidding! im maddddddd.

im proud of myself cos this morning as i began the day with the Lord i asked for peace of heart and mind to look to the things that really matter. and i think He's slowly but surely teaching me to look to the things that are eternal. and He's teaching me to have a single-minded focus and devotion [though i know im still wayyyyyyyyy off! haha] like the apostle paul had in preaching the gospel. i think its hard to say [and mean it] you count all things as rubbish when you look into the fullness of His glory. thats why i appreciate what it says in this hymn 'i'd rather have Jesus than man's applause', and i like be Thou my vision too! 'riches i heed not, nor man's empty praise. Thou mine inheritance now and always' (:

and i will focus! haha. i shall attempt to touch torts so i dont get horribly embarassed during tutorial tmr. hahah i want to hide my face and DIE i always get caught when im not listening like during sls today. garhhs i am SO bad at trying to stifle my laffter. no more msning during lecture! kick me if i do. (:
