              AmCouple (x02210@1)of 'em thinkin' they'll be livin' in the sky

     C (x32010@1)                                       
Everything in Luke 12:15 down to 21 ya really gotta go and check it out,
     GPaul (320003@1)said if Christ aint resurrected we wasted our lives,
          EmWell (022000@1)that implies that our lives drift around Jesus being alive,
           AmEveryday (x02210@1)I live I try to show the world why,
          GChrist (320003@1)is more than anything I'd ever try,
            CBetter (x32010@1)than pretty women and sinning and living to get a minute of any woman 
                    Gand (320003@1)men that you admire
           
It aint no lie!

We created for Him,
EmOut (022000@1)of the dust he made us for Him,
AmElects (x02210@1)us and he saved us for Him,
CJesus (x32010@1)comes and he raised us for Him,
GMagnify (320003@1)the Father, why bother with something lesser?
    EmHe (022000@1)made us so we could bless Him, (Bless Him)
         AmTell (x02210@1)the world we confess Him,
       CResurrects (x32010@1)Him,

So I know I got life,
GMatter (320003@1)fact better man I know I got Christ,
EmIf (022000@1)you don't see His ways in my days in my nights,
AmYou (x02210@1)can hit my breaks you can stop my life,
CMan (x32010@1)I lost my rights, lost my life,
GForget (320003@1)the money, cars and toss that ice,
    EmThe (022000@1)cost is Christ,
                             Am/Bm
And they can never offer me anything any better that would cost that price
