I’ll Take Jesus

As they gambled for the robe He wore
They chose a worldly trail
Not thinking about eternity
As the soldiers drove the nails
Now will we learn from what they've done
Or make the same mistakes
Me or the world, My child
Which one will you take

I'll take Jesus
I'll take Jesus
For I've tried those earthly pleasures
And they failed
And when you see the gates of heaven
You'll hear the Master say
Me or the world, My child
Which one did you take

As the pages of my life have turned
And my time has rolled away
You know the greatest things that I have done
They won't help me on that day
And all of 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
For I've tried those earthly pleasures
And they failed
And when you see the gates of heaven
You'll hear the Master say
Me or the world, My child
Which one did you take

And when you see the gates of heaven
You'll hear the Master say
Me or the world, My child
Which one did you take
Oh, Me or the world, My child
Which one did you take
