Need lyrics and chords to I Choose To Be A Christian
Help...Does anyone know the the lyrics and chords to the song "I Choose To Be A Christian." I remember Loretta Earl singing that song (early 90's) but not sure who the actual artist is. I've tried some of the webistes I'm familiar with and cannot find it anywhere. I know some of the words...
Chorus I choose to be a christian I choose to be like him ??????????? this is how I want to live You decide for you and I'll decide for me the choice is mine this how I choose to live I'm not even sure if the above is correct. I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help me with this. |
I met a man the other day
He looked and me and said I've seen your kind so many times before You can't do this, You can't do that Your bound by rules and restrictions What a dreary life your Christians must observe (can't remember the rest of this verse right off hand... there was something about "I can chew & dip, snort & cuss, party all night until the sun comes up but there's better things in life I'd rather do... something like that) I choose to be a Christian I choose to be like him Ain't noboby makin' me do it (The last time through they said "Ain't nobody holdin' a gun to my head) This is how I want to live You decide for you and I'll decide for me the choice is mine this what I choose to be |
Thanks a bunch - that helps alot! Now that I see the words - it is coming back to me. Would you know where I could get the chords to that?

I'll let you know if I find anything... but so far... no go. |
I have searched too and can't find anything either. I have a young lady that wants to sing that song - she isn't scheduled to sing for a couple of weeks so I have some time to find it and practice playing before she sings. Again thanks!

Dan Dean sang it...don't know if it was his originally.

Here you go, I just noticed this thread or I would have postred this for you before. My sister in law recorded this a few years back.
I CHOOSE TO BE A CHRISTIAN 1. 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 I SAID YOU’RE WRONG HEY I CAN DO ANYTHING THAT WILL TURN ME ON I CAN SMOKE TILL 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 UNITL THE SUN COMES UP BUT THERE ARE BETTER THINGS IN LIFE I’D RATHER DO CHO. YOU SEE I CHOOSE TO BE A CHRISTION 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 2. 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 ME 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 3. 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 |
I should have read through the thread. I will see if I can get the chords for you from my brother.

Thanks alot! I didn't realize there was other verses. I haven't heard it for about 14 years or so. Chords would be great...sometimes I can play by ear if the song is simple and sometimes I don't hear everything - certain chords.
