This life is the life that I've chosen

Nobody made me do it

Feels right, givin' all my devotion

Take it from a man who's had a taste of both sides

There's no sweeter freedom than a godly life

I just wanna testify



CHORUS

This is the life

I'm where I wanna be

Livin' from the center of a heart that's free

Oh, I'm feelin' alright

Day or night, rain or shine

This is the life



You think it's a dull life I'm livin'

Yeah, you say it's such a pity

So weak, to need a crutch of religion

Pardon me a minute but I think I need to say

I don't need your sympathy so don't be talkin' that way

You will see the light some day



CHORUS



Now I'm not sayin' that I never had a bad day

But since I've been livin' for Jesus

This is what I have to say
