Arranged by David Neff. 20th Century,Christian,Praise & Worship,Religious,Sacred. 6 pages. David Neff #717430. Published by David Neff (A0.1115658). Here’s a fresh high-voice arrangement of the classic gospel song written by bass-baritone George Beverly Shea. It is appropriate for any setting where sacred music is welcomed. This arrangement is also available on this site for medium voice. Shea wrote the tune for “I’d Rather Have Jesus� at age 23. He’d been offered a well-paying job as a singer on NBC’s Your Hit Parade, and he was struggling with whether to choose a secular singing career or to stick with singing in churches and on Christian radio. He turned down the job offer, stuck with sacred music, and eventually took a role as the main vocalist with the Billy Graham Evangelistic Crusades. “I’d Rather Have Jesus� became his signature tune. It was featured on his first release from RCA records, and because of his role with Billy Graham, it is thought that he sang live before more people than anyone else in history.
