Story behind the song
I wrote this song because i wanted to express my heart on having the right perspective about life. To place in proper view the things that are spiritual over the things that are material. As a pastor, far too many times i see people get their priorities confused. These people trade the lesser for the better and they end up paying a high price for bad choices and wrong decisions! Once a person encounters Jesus their life is never the same, and they suddenly understand that "THE GOOD LIFE" is simply to have an intimate relationship with Jesus Christ, and everything else is just a bonus. Because having stuff and no "JESUS", is to have nothing! But to have "JESUS" and no stuff, is to have everything! Having Jesus is what makes your life worth living and that's "THE GOOD LIFE"
Lyrics
"The Good Life" More precious than silver better than pure gold More valuable than a diamond ring or nice expensive clothes It's better than a house on a hill or a brand new automobile I love serving Jesus cause its the greatest thrill Let me tell you about a friend he'll be with you until the end He'll share your up's and downs he'll turn your frown into a smile he knows how to carry you through all the things you're going through I wouldn't trade it for the world for no money or precious pearls It's the good life - It's the good life It's the good life - It's the good life More precious than silver better than pure gold More valuable than a diamond ring or nice expensive clothes It's better than a house on a hill or a brand new automobile I love serving Jesus cause it's the greatest thrill What you need is peace to ease your troubling mind say you're empty in your soul what you need is joy divine you feel like you're stuck in a pit and you're tired of living like this you need to get to God right away don't put it off you got to do it today It's the good life - It's the good life It's the good life - It's the good life (REPEAT CHORUS) WRITTEN, ARRANGED, & PRODUCED BY GARRY MOORE ALL LEAD AND BACKGROUND VOCALS BY GARRY MOORE GUITAR, KEYBOARDS, DRUM PROGRAMMING AND ALL MUSIC PERFORMED BY GARRY MOORE.
