Rhonda Vincent - You Don't Love God If You Don't Love Your Neighbor lyrics

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
