I Choose To Be A Christian

I met a man the other day who looked at me and said
so many times I've seen your kind before
He said you can't do this, you can't do that
You're bound by rules and restrictions
Oh what a dreary life you Christians must observe
Well, I looked him in the eye and said you're wrong
Hey I can do anything that will turn me on
I can smoke til my eyes turn red and my face turns blue
I can chew and dip and I can snort and puff
Hey I can party and drink until the sun comes up
But there are better things in life I'd rather do

Chorus
You see, I choose to be a Christian
I choose to be like Him
There's nobody makin me do it
This is how I love to live
You decide for you
I'll decide for me
But see the choice is mine
And this is what I choose to be

Well I must admit that from time to time
The thought of Heaven keeps me towing the line
That the Lord is coming sounds to good to be true
But if it all was just a fairytale
if there was no Heaven and there was no Hell
I'd still be happy living like I do

Chorus

So don't look at me in sympathy
And think that I've been cheated
From doin all those things that you call fun
Cause some night when you're getting down
on that darker side of town
This choice I've made will be lifting me out of here

Chorus

He Painted His Love
Verse 1
Like a frame with no picture
I was empty and bare
A life of pain and so much same
I thought that no one cared
Then this artist that we call Jesus
Took his precious Blood
And in a life that had no meaning
Jesus painted his loved

Chorus
He painted his love in a broken heart
Painted strength when I was falling apart
Painted Joy down in a barren Soul
Painted me hope when I was at the end
Put my life all back together again
Jesus took his precious Blood and painted his love

Verse 2
Now he hangs another picture
For the whole world to see
That in his name, there's life again
With so much Liberty
It is finished was the cry
Then he hung his head and died
And with streams of precious Blood
Jesus painted his Love

Chorus
He painted his love in a broken heart
He painted strength when I was falling apart
Painted Joy down in a barren Soul
Painted me hope when I was at the end
Put my life all back together again
Jesus took his precious Blood and painted his love
