my buddies tell me that I should have waited
D A E A
they say I'm missing a whole world of fun
D A D G
but I still love them and I sing with pride
D A D
I like the Christian life
A G D
I won't lose a friend by heeding God's call
A G A
for what is a friend who'd want you to fall
D A D G
others find pleasure in things I despise
D A D
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 and walk in the light
I like the Christian life
repeat second verse
