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
