Lyric

🎵 Let’s sing along with the lyrics! 🎤

There are many people, who will say they’re ChristiansAnd they live like Christians on the Sabbath dayBut come Monday morning, till the coming SundayThey will fight their neighbor all along the way
Oh you don’t love GodIf you don’t love your neighborIf you gossip about him, if you never have mercyIf he gets into trouble, and you don’t try to help himThen you don’t love your neighborAnd you don’t love God
In the holy Bible, in the book of MatthewRead the 18th chapter in the 21st verseJesus plainly tells us that we must have mercyThere’s a special warning in the 35th verse
Oh you don’t love GodIf you don’t love your neighborIf you gossip about him, if you never have mercyIf he gets into trouble, and you don’t try to help himThen you don’t love your neighborAnd you don’t love God
There’s a God Almighty, and you’ve got to love himIf you want salvation and a home on highIf you say you love him while you hate your neighborThen you don’t have religion, you just told a lie
Oh you don’t love GodIf you don’t love your neighborIf you gossip about him, if you never have mercyIf he gets into trouble, and you don’t try to help himThen you don’t love your neighborAnd you don’t love God
Oh you don’t love GodIf you don’t love your neighborIf you gossip about him, if you never have mercyIf he gets into trouble, and you don’t try to help himThen you don’t love your neighborAnd you don’t love godThen you don’t love your neighborAnd you don’t love god
