Christian Life (Charlie Louvin/Ira Louvin)


My buddies tell me that I should have waited
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
But I still love them and I say with pride
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasures in things I despise
I like the Christian life

My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus
They say I'm missing a whole world of fun
I live without them walking the line
I like the Christian life
I won't lose a friend while heeding God's call
For what is a friend who'd want you to fall
Others find pleasures in things I despise
I like the Christian life
I like the Christian life
