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


{chorus}
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


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

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

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


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


then you don't love your neighbor, and you don't love God
