My buddies tell 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 friends by heeding God's call For what is a friend who'd want me to fall Otheres find pleasure in things I despise I like the christian life My buddies shun me since I turned to Jesus But I am happy though it burdens my soul And I'll try to lead them to walk in the night I like the christian life
