Good Life

Chorus:
Lord we thank you for the air we breathe
Lord we thank you for the food we eat
For your goodness and mercies
For love and unity
For friends and family
You’re the good life that we live

Verse 1:
Lord I thank you
For this moment I’m in now
I know I’m not perfect
I know I’m a sinner, But
Your goodness and mercies been prevailing me
When I relied on chariots alone, they failing me
In my relationship lord you’ve been sailing me
From the handwork of enemies, you’ve been veiling me
You've been saving me
You've been raising me
So like David did I'll keep praising thee
Lord I thank you
For yet another day
For every day I live you will forever stay
Cas you’re faithful
Dunno who is like thee
You gave me a great mind and breath to breathe
Gave me food to eat
Gave me a place to sleep
Gave me family and friends that love me for who I be
For your graces and love
You gave your son for me
Won't stop thanking you lord for been the life I live
Chorus:
Lord we thank you for the air we breathe
Lord we thank you for the food we eat
For your goodness and mercies
For love and unity
For friends and family
You’re the good life that we live

Verse 2:
I used to think the good life was being famous and rich
Stacking Dow, being dope, dating the prettiest chick
12.30 in the morning we are chatting till 3
About girls, parties and beefing, my role model was Weezy
Saw him on MTV, mehn I thought he was grinding
How to be like Wayne was the biz I was minding
Cussing, bragging, pant sagging my progress was hindered
But God had better plans so to him I surrendered
And when I sought Christ
He showed me a different picture
Fam, music, the scripture became a perfect mixture
That goes through my Oesophagus keeps me for better days
To develop my poetry he gave me better maize
Some say this life is vanity
But the soul has got infinity
Cas earth is temporary, to test our fidelity
Hedonistic pursuit, ends in the cemetery
God’s love and divinity, the good life that we’re living


Bridge:
Lord you are good and your mercies endures forever
You are so amazing
You are good
Lord you are good and your mercies endures forever
You are so amazing
You are good

Chorus:
Lord we thank you for the air we breathe
Lord we thank you for the food we eat
For your goodness and mercies
For love and unity
For friends and family
You’re the good life that we live
