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
