You know that I've got it (sho' you right) (I've got it) (yes I do) I've got it (sho' you right) (sho' 'nuf got it) (I sure do) You know that I've got it (sho' you right) (sho' you right)
Well you might wonder why I'm so happy And if I'm right there's one thing you should know I've just been connected (oh Lord) to an everlasting souce of power And that power makes me glow No I'm not saying I don't have problems And I can't say that I don't get down But it behooves me to move with a pep in my step When I'm excited 'bout the joy that I've found
[Channel:] I might have trouble on every side yet not distressed I might be perplexed but never in despair Persecuted but not forsaken Cast down but not destroyed
[Chorus:] Whoa I've got life in Jesus (Better believe) That I've got life just look at the smile on my face Oh I've got life in Jesus And you know that I'm goona win this race Got that life got that life
Well I'm glad! That's right, Glad! Because now I know that I can win This (here) race isn't given (no no) To the swift or the strong But the one who endures to the end (Bet I can win) No, I'm not saying that I don't have burdens And I can't say I'll never fall But with my hand in his hand I'm headed for a better land And I know that it'll be worth it all

[Chorus]
(Y'all can sing it again)
You know that I've got it (sho' you right) (I've got it) (yes I do) I've got it (sho' you right) (sho' 'nuf got it) (I sure do) You know that I've got it (sho' you right) (sho' you right) I'm a'livin-a'livin-a'livin-a'livin again Got that life, Got that life, Got that life, Got that life, Got that life, I'm a'livin-a'livin-a'livin-a'livin again
