Life is Good

Am I crazy I might be I don’t mind
I was lost I don’t remember when
But here I am I don’t know why

But by the grace of God

Streets filled with busy shoppers laughing buying
Busy shoppers arrive home bags full a warm bed
Concerned that something should be done
Easily said when you are well fed
Life is good when your mattress isn’t the sidewalk

But here I am by the grace of God

I am crazy I have been told more than once
Jesus ate with the sinners and tax collectors
I know I was there
Jesus touched the unclean when many wouldn’t
And they touched Him and He touched me

So many looking for hope whatever the cost
Life’s a gamble, scratch the card the big one elusive
Life is good when your mattress isn’t the sidewalk

But by the grace of God here I am
