CHORUS:
C F C F C
I have decided I'm gonna live like a believer,
F C F C
turn my back on the deceiver,
G
I'm gonna live what I believe.
F C F C F C
I have decided bein' good is just a fable,
F C
I just can't 'cause I'm not able,
G7 C
I'm gonna leave it to the Lord.
VERSE 1:
G
There's a wealth of things that I profess,
F C
I said that I believed,
F C
but deep inside I never changed,
G G7
I guess I'd been deceived.
C G
'Cause a voice inside kept tellin' me
F C
that I'd change by and by,
F C
but the spirit made it clear to me
G
that kind of life's a lie.
VERSE 2:
G
So forget the game of being good,
F C
and your self-righteous pain,
F C
'cause the only good inside your heart
G G7
is the good that Jesus brings.
C G
When the world beings to see you change
F C
don't expect them to applaud,
F C
just keep your eyes on Him and tell yourself
G
I've become the work of God.
