I'd Rather Have Jesus- Crystal Lewis

[fareel2368]

This woman has a voice like no other. She is totally different from all the others. Wonderful absolutely wonderful.... Praise the Lord!!!!!!!!

[meoshaa1]

Today was my Granny's birthday, she pass away almost 3yrs ago. I was looking for something with Crystal Lewis on TBN. and I found it. couldn't make it thru the song. I own all her cd's (except 2) and I know that my granny is kickin' it with Jesus, but also proud that I haven't forgot where I come from

[marie1122ful]

she can record an album live...

it just the music that needs the studio magic. God bless her continuous ministry!

ID RATHER HAVE JESUS than this world, it's royalty, economy, deception. Give ME JeSUS YEShua Christ

[wholeheart4GOD]

The purity that I hear in her voice in this video seems to have been lost when I listen to her later videos. This is a beautiful rendition, and it is true, I could listen it over and over.

[tallliza]

I rather have science !!

[iFearNotForIamSaved]

@tallliza God knew that everything was made of atoms and that we all had DNA and such for this is how he made creation he knew this when he made us. He knows so much more, science is trying to study what he made there's nothing wrong with that their finding how he designed things biologically or otherwise. Science and Christianity agree until you try to say an inaminated object made the universe like the big bang. God made everything he is all powerful he is the infinite source of power

[nzobriens]

@iFearNotForIamSaved A God designed DNA for anal worms? Child only cancers, warts, WHAT was he thinking when he created the DEVIL knowing he'd cause trouble? Why design FREEWILL and then let the Devil loose? Be a moral person! Why would a loving Jesus cure the blind but not child blindness? Are you for real? - The idea that the fruit of KNOWLEDGE was forbidden was because ignorance was required by tribal despots.. Don't listen and nod, READ AND THINK!

[joelandres]

Great hymn, wonderful interpretacion of Crystal Lewis :) Love this song

[sportnerd112]

Amazing !! what a voice what a blessing... I love the second verse especially " I rather be true to His Holy name!"

[Andrew4Handel]

Wonderful! I could listen to it for ever!

[p23queen]

Crystal is anointed to minister His heart with her voice. She obediently and lovingly shares her gift to lift up His name and encourage His children.  Praise the Lord!

[ulived1969]

Jesus is the 666 - Look closely & you will see him

[marvelstryfe]

I'd Rather Have truth told to me instead of this bullshit religion

[billartkool]

Christianity is complicated.

[dirtypants428]

I'd rather have a spanish omelette.

[TheRegenerate]

You'd better eat that omelette now, while you can, because when you stand before The Lord with un-repented sin, there will be other things on your mind.....

[ajeansimon]

this songs makes me cry everytime.

Yes I rather have Jesus than silver and gold and anything but carrying that cross is not easy...but at the end it will be all worthwhile.

be blessed

[4qs2heaven]

This rendition give me chills :) Crystal was used mightily by the Lord in this song. All glory goes to our Lord Jesus!

[ChristSeekerz]

Jesus thank you. I know I need to change. If anyone is out there, please pray for me and many others just like me.

I have trouble, picking up my Cross and following the Narrow Way. Please, pray for me and other Christians who are having a struggle or people who are having a hard time staying faithful to God.

[vic4word]

Praying for you, that the Lord shine His light upon you, and lead and guide you along the path He has chosen for your life. Be blessed always.

[maby2980]

@ChristSeekerz BROTHER I RECOMEND YOU SPEND MORE TIME READING THE BIBLE AND IN MUCH SECRET PRAYER....

[duyuctaz]

@ChristSeekerz Just think on Him in all the things you do. Train your mind to focus on Him and you will see success. :) U and those who seek Christ will be found by Him for the fact that you seek Him is a sign that He is calling you.. be blessed love.

[miree252]

You have a beautiful voice and that is a beautiful song. Your voice is annointed. May God continue to shadow you with his blessings..

[RyMuEntertainment]

Her voice is beautiful!She inspired me much  "I know My Redeemer lives"...Great artist!

[tinarocksyoyo]

The best version ever!!!!!!!!!

[Hopephillips88]

Yes,many people have died for this man Jesus,cause He died for you and everyone else.I am sorry to hear that you don't believe,but that's your choice.I have made mine,and I am not going to not believe it cause its real.Santa Clause is not real,its just someone that somebody's made up.But PLEASE believe me,there is a Heaven and there IS a Hell,and those of you that don't believe will be sent to Hell when the Mark of the Beast comes.And it is coming.PLEASE be READY!I am not just trying to fool you

[leelee2172]

Oh so you're just looking at the pictures?? You're entitled to your opinion. I respect that. I just hope you find the peace I've experienced in my life as a believer in something you DO believe in. Have a nice day.

[leelee2172]

Question?? If you don't believe, what are u doing on YouTube watching people sing religious songs?????

[leelee2172]

I'll continue to pray for you because I personally have witnessed what the power of prayer can do. And by the way, my pastor drives either a small hybrid or a Ford Ranger to church. God bless.

[leelee2172]

I have news for you too. There is a God in heaven above and he loves idiots like you too. We Jesus freaks will continue to pray for people lost like you.

[samuel1abarza]

GREAT!!!

[beatgospel]

Crystal lewis is Gifted may god bless and keep her

[germanduck]

WOW, this is an old vid, is it from 1996? I'm guessing by her hair cut, which was the same on her beauty for ashes album that came out in 1996.

[eltorofluff]

Yeah it was like..'95-'96. It was pre-Ahes otherwise she would have sang a song from the album. This was during her Hymns album. She started the night off with "I Now Live" then "I'd Rather Have Jesus" and ended with "How Great Thou Art". Unfortunately, my vcr can't track the tape I have these recorded on steady enough for my dv cam to import it w/out skipping. :(. I'll find a way around this and post the other vids soon.

[germanduck]

I would love that! Thank you for trying... I love crystal!

[crjetpilot]

Crystal is one of my all time favorites! She is blessed with a unique, beautiful voice (and a sweet personality to go with it).

If she only knew how often she has inspired me in praise, through her CDs, DVDs. Rock on, Crystal!

[eltorofluff]

"Rock on" indeed!! ...and ditto. ^-^

[PattiHolte]

What was this 1995? That was nice!!

[zschwertx]

I love this song!

Me encanta como se veía Crystal en esa época ;)
