[B] [C#m]
[B] Men [E]
[B] strive for the wealth of this wide [B] wicked world.
[F#] They seek after honor [B] and fame.
So lavishly sporting [E] their diamonds [B] and pearls,
[F#] They put the [C#] dear Savior [F#] to shame.
[B] I'd rather live in heaven than to all [F#] our earth's silver [E] [B] and gold.
[E] I'd rather [B] have Jesus Christ as Lord [C#] than the diamonds of a palace.
[F#] I'd rather
[B]
be a pastor or a [E] gardener,
Live in a little shack by [B] the shore,
Than here to all earth's treasure vases
With no title [F#] to [E] a future [B] of gold.
[C#m] [B]
[E] [B] The treasure I seek in [E] His rich store [B] of grace,
[F#] The diamond of peace for [B] my soul,
The golden assurance [E] that I am [B] His child,
[F#]
Forgiven, [C#] accepted, [F#] and whole.
[B]
I'd rather live in heaven than to all [F#] our earth's silver [E]
[B] and gold.
[E] I'd rather [B] have Jesus Christ as Lord [C#] than the diamonds of a palace.
[F#]
I'd [B]
rather be a pastor or a gardener,
[E] Live in a little shack by [B] the shore,
Than here to all earth's treasure vases
With no title [F#] to a future [E] of [B] gold.
[E]
I'd rather live in heaven than to all [B] our earth's silver [A]
[E] and gold.
[A]
I'd rather [E] have Jesus Christ as Lord [F#] than

[E]
the diamonds of a [A] palace.
I'd rather live in heaven [E] than to all earth's silver and gold.
I'd rather be [B] a pastor [A] or a gardener,
