You Don't Love God If You Don't Love Your Neighbor Songtext / Lyric

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
