"I'll Take Jesus" lyrics - THE CRABB FAMILY

THE CRABB FAMILY
"I'll Take Jesus"

As they gambled for the robe he wore
They chose the worldly trail
Not thinking about eternity
As the soldiers drove the nails
Will we learn from what they've done
Or make the same mistake?
Me or the world my child
Which one will you take?
I'll take Jesus
I'll take Jesus
I've tried those earthly pleasures and they failed
To see the gates of heaven
You must hear the Master say
Me or the world my child
Which one will you take?
As the pages of my life have turned
And time has rolled away
The greatest things that I have done
They're not gonna matter on that day
All my earthly treasures that I have laid away
They're gonna be to me just a memory
And this you'll hear me say
I'll take Jesus
I'll take Jesus
I've tried those earthly pleasures and they failed
To see the gates of heaven
You must hear the Master say
Me or the world my child
Which one will you take?
Me or the world my child
Which one will you take?
