[Intro]
The greatest single cause of atheism in the world, today, is Christians who acknowledge Jesus with their lips, and walk out the door and deny Him by their lifestyle. That is what an unbelieving world simply finds unbelievable

[Chorus]
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song
I'm gonna stand for right and always shun the wrong
If I'm in a crowd, if I'm alone
On the streets or in my home
I'm gonna live the life I sing about in my song

[Verse 1]
Everyday, everywhere
On the busy thoroughfare
Folks may watch me, folks may spot me
Say I'm foolish, but I don't care
I can't sing one thing, and then live another
Look saved all day, but a devil undercover
Got to live the life I sing about in my song

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]
If at day, if at night
I must always walk in the light
Some mistake me, underrate me
Because I want to do what's right
I can't go to church and shout all day, Sunday
Get out and get drunk, and raise hell on a Monday
I got to live the life I sing about in my song
[Chorus]

[Outro]
Not for gold, not for fame, but the love of Jesus
Straight street, narrow way, Jesus washed my sins away
Not for gold, not for fame, but the love of Jesus
Straight street, narrow way, Jesus washed my sins away
Yeah
