I'll Take Jesus

<p>As they gambled for the robe he wore<br/>They chose the worldly trail<br/>Not thinking about eternity<br/>As the soldiers drove the nails<br/>Will we learn from what they&#x27;ve done<br/>Or make the same mistake?<br/>Me or the world my child<br/>Which one will you take?<br/>I&#x27;ll take Jesus<br/>I&#x27;ll take Jesus<br/>I&#x27;ve tried those earthly pleasures and they failed<br/>To see the gates of heaven<br/>You must hear the Master say<br/>Me or the world my child<br/>Which one will you take?<br/>As the pages of my life have turned<br/>And time has rolled away<br/>The greatest things that I have done<br/>They&#x27;re not gonna matter on that day<br/>All my earthly treasures that I have laid away<br/>They&#x27;re gonna be to me just a memory<br/>And this you&#x27;ll hear me say<br/>I&#x27;ll take Jesus<br/>I&#x27;ll take Jesus<br/>I&#x27;ve tried those earthly pleasures and they failed<br/>To see the gates of heaven<br/>You must hear the Master say<br/>Me or the world my child<br/>Which one will you take?<br/>Me or the world my child<br/>Which one will you take?
