Author: Harrison Johnson Hymnal: Lead Me, Guide Me (2nd ed.) #626 (2012) First Line: Some folk would rather have houses and land Lyrics: 1 Some folk would rather have houses and land.
Some folk choose silver and gold.
These things they treasure and forget about their souls;
I’ve decided to make Jesus my choice.
Refrain:
The road is rough; the going gets tough,
and the hills are hard to climb.
I’ve started out a long time ago,
there’s no doubt in my mind;
I’ve decided to make Jesus my choice.
2 These clothes may be ragged that I’m wearing.
Heavy is the load that I’m bearing.
These old burdens that I’m carrying
I’ve decided to make Jesus my choice. [Refrain] Topics: Christian Initiation Sacraments; Baptism Sacraments; Burdens; Commitment; Discipleship; Jesus Christ; Life in Christ, Christian Life; Poverty Scripture: Matthew 6:21 Languages: English Tune Title: [Some folk would rather have houses and land]
