You Don't Love God If You Don't Love Your Neighbor
Artist/Band: Vincent Rhonda
Lyrics for Song: You Don't Love God If You Don't Love Your Neighbor
Lyrics for Album: The Storm Still Rages

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

1. There's truth in bluegrass, that's all I have to say
Now if those rednecks would listen to lyrics like this, we'd be better off.

3. I always thought it was "love your neighbor as yourself" this seems to...
provide a loophole for those who really don't like themselves much

6. She's been on A Prairie Home Companion
I went to see her in concert and bought her CD at the show. It was very good.

8. Something for the Fundies to keep in mind
Along with "do unto others as you would have them do unto you".

It seems they want others to treat them like crap. :shrug:
