Good Life

Talked to a friend who

Commanded quite a fortune

With one big deal

He was an overnight success

He had it all everything

That seemed important

Then one day it slipped away

And he felt the emptiness

And as I watched his bridges burn

Once again I learned that

The treasures of this world

Will all go up in smoke

so in God I place my hope



[Chorus]

I'm livin' the good life

I've got everything I need

Totally satisfied

With the faith He's given me

Life will overflow with joy

With real security

He's given me the good life

I'm gonna live it faithfully



I'm an average man

With average kinds of problems

The bills stack up

How am I gonna make it through

But I can't complain,

'Cause He's pulled me through so often

And I may go without a time or two

But I don't lack for what I need

'Cause I know that my reward

Is in the Hands of the Lord

And the worst of circumstances

Work out for the best

How did I become so blessed



[Chorus]



At times it seems this

Life could be much better

But I know it won't be long until forever



[Chorus: x2]



He's given me the good life

He's given me the good life
