[ Featuring Simple ]
I would rather be poor
Than be rich, and not generous
I'd rather have nothing
Than have everything except holiness
I would rather be sick
Than be healthy and self-dependent
I'd rather be stupid
Than walk with false assurance
I choose poor, I choose sick
I choose stupid and dependent
As long as I get more of Jesus
I've been poor, I've been sick
All the faith I've learned was worth it
Because the less I have
The more I fill my life with Jesus
I would rather know loss
Than have fortune and distraction
I'd rather be lonely
Than be friends with worldy passion
I'd rather be dead
Dead to sin, alive in Christ
I'd rather be desperate
Than let comfort satisfy
I choose poor, I choose sick
I choose stupid and dependent
As long as I get more of Jesus
I've been poor, I've been sick
All the faith I've learned was worth it
Because the less I have
The more I fill my life with Jesus
