(I Was Raised in a Home whereby My Mother was a Deep Christian Listening to Jim Reeves Worship Songs. I had no Clue about Salvation and Eternal Life. My Mom placed her Children in Church and Sunday School at a very tender age. I drifted Away from the Christian Values and only got Saved in 1998 at the age of 41 yrs by God's Grace, Mercy and Love. It took me a while to Experience Christian Growth and Development. Thus a Song of this Nature gives me a A Clear Earthly and Eternal Revelation and Education that Having Precious and Wonderful Jesus Christ in your Life is Much more important than Earthly and Material achievements Such as Gold,Houses,Land, Millionaire Status that are all Temporary Earthly success with no Eternal Value or Rewards from Almighty God.

This song is written by prince Oscar of Sweden. He was a new bourne christian and was a leader of an evangelical movement in Sweden. When he met his bride to be he had to abdicate from the right of the crown because she was’nt a royalty. He wrote this song for their wedding

[@tonieantoniapadrique8900]

This song I'll rather have Jesus hymn was written in 1922 by Rhea F. Miller with the music composed by George Beverly Shea.

[@Hliljan]

@@tonieantoniapadrique8900 i know she claim to have written this song but it is not true. She might have found the lyrics translated somewhere and then got the music composed for it. It is well documentet in the Royal documentation in Sweden. I believe that the same happen to this song as was close to happen to ” How great thou art”. The song is written by the swedish Carl G Boberg. Then it was translated to english. 1 million swedes immigrate to America in 1800 a lots of them devoted christians. They sang their songs that got translated to english. Later someone took “How great thou art” back to Sweden and because it had no name under the lyrics it was almost translated back to swedish claimed to be american. Someone discovered the error and corrected it.

[@evangelinegorosin2898]

Amazing love story. God's love is unfathomable..Prince Oscar ,you are chosen to be one of Gods follower. PRAISES AND ALL GLORY to GOD...

[@NormanD885]

@@tonieantoniapadrique8900 I’d rather have Jesus was written by Prince Oscar Bernadotte in 1888, and not by Rhea Miller. This song was being sung in the 1880’s and 1890’s in Sweden. This was thirty plus years before the so called Rhea Miller’s claim. For argument’s sake; if Rhea Miller had written this beautiful Christian song, she would have penned it, “ Than to be a Queen of a vast domain “ emphasis on Queen. God Bless, just my two cents…..🙏🙏🙏
