There are many people who will say they're Christians
And they live like Christians on the Sabbath day
But come Monday morning 'til the coming Sunday
They will fight their neighbor all along the way

(Oh you don't love God) if you don't love your neighbor
If you gossip about him if you never have mercy
If he gets into trouble and you don't try to help him
Then you don't love your neighbor (and you) don't love God

In the holy Bible in the book of Matthew
Read the 18th chapter in the 21st verse
Jesus plainly tells us that we must have mercy
There's a special warning in the 35th verse

There's a God Almighty and you've got to love him
If you want salvation and a home on high
If you say you love him while you hate your neighbor
Then you don't have religion you just told a lie
