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
