Bruce Carroll - Good Life lyrics

Talked to a friend who Commanded quite a fortune With one big deal He was an overnight sucess He had it all everything That seemed important Then one day it slipped away And he felt the emptiness And as I watched his bridges burn Once again I learned that The treasures of this world Will all go up in smoke So in God I place my hope Chorus: I'm livin the good life I've got everything I need Totally satisfied With the faith He's given me Life will overflow with joy With real security He's given me the good life I'm gonna live it faithfully I'm an average man With average kinds of problems The bills stack up How am I gonna make it through But I can't complain 'Cause He's pulled me through so often And I may go without a time or two But I don't lack for what I need 'Cause I know that my reward Is in the Hands of the Lord And the worst of circumstances Work out for the best How did I become so blessed (Chorus) At times it seems this Life could be much better But I know it won't be long until forever (Chorus x 2 ) He's given me the good life He's given me the good life
