Lyrics
My buddies tell me that I should've waited
My friends advise me that I should have waited.
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
They suggest that I'm missing out on a whole world of enjoyment.
But I still love them and I sing with pride
Despite their advice, I still love my friends and proudly express my faith.
I like the Christian life
I find fulfillment and satisfaction in living a Christian life.
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
I won't lose a friend by following God's calling.
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
True friendship does not encourage or desire your failure.
Others find pleasure in things I despise
While others may enjoy things I disapprove of, I remain true to my beliefs.
I like the Christian life
I find joy and contentment in living a Christian life.
My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
My friends reject me since I turned to Jesus.
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
They believe I'm forfeiting a world of enjoyment.
I live without them and walk in the light
Despite their rejection, I live without them and walk in the light of my faith.
I like the Christian life
I find fulfillment and satisfaction in the Christian way of life.
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
I won't sacrifice my faith to keep a friend who encourages me to fall away from it.
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
A true friend would never wish for your spiritual downfall.
Others find pleasure in things I despise
While others may find pleasure in things I disapprove of, I stay true to my Christian values.
I like the Christian life
I find fulfillment and joy in living a Christian life.
I like the Christian life
Reaffirmation of the singer's appreciation for and satisfaction in the Christian way of life.
