For Jesus Instead
by Acappella Children

Album: Drop In The Bucket

When I heard of salvation and of reconciliation I decided I would change my ol' way
Yes, I fully repented and I made a real commitment that will last me for the rest of my days
Oh, I don't mind when I'm givin' Him my time, yes, I'll do it 'til the day that I'm dead
When I live for Him, brother, I don't take to any other 'cause I'm livin' for Jesus instead

Chorus:
For Jesus instead
For Jesus instead
For Jesus instead (I've been livin')
For Jesus instead
For Jesus instead
For Jesus instead
For Jesus instead (I've been livin')
For Jesus instead

Well, the way I've been livin' and the work that I've been givin' I've been doing it all for the Son
And when times were a testin' and when Satan started pressin' I decided that I wouldn't run
No, I didn't frown when ol' Satan came around I just stuck by my guns and I said,
"You must be mistaken and your sin I'm not a-takin' 'Cause I'm livin' for Jesus intead"

Repeat Chorus

For Jesus instead

Well if you life's a revival and you're readin' your Bible and you're trustin' in God as your friend
If you're sharin' the message and to people you're a blessin' and the Spirit is livin' within
Well, you don't care when the people start to stare and to say that you're out of your head
It'll never get to you when ol' Satan tries to fool you 'cause you're livin' for Jesus instead

Repeat Chorus

I've been livin', yes I'm livin'
I've been livin' for Jesus instead
