My buddies told me that I should have waited They say I'm missing a whole world of fun But I am happy and I sing with pride I like the Christian life I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call For what is a friend who would want you to fall Others find pleasure in things I despise I like the Christian life My buddies shunned me since I turned to Jesus But I still love them, though they burden my heart I'll try to lead them to walk in the light I like the Christian life I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call For what is a friend who would want you to fall Others find pleasure in things I dislike I like the Christian life Yeah Ooo ooo oooo Yeah My buddies told me that I should have waited They say I'm missing a whole world of fun But I am happy and I sing with pride I like the Christian life I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call For what is a friend who would want you to fall Others find pleasure in things I dislike I like the Christian life I like the Christian life I like it (Music fades) --- .
