From: Alison J. Brown

You can know all the scriptures

Have all the bibles you can reach

But when push comes to shove

Do you practice what you preach?

Anyone can go to church

And collapse on the floor

But when Judgment Day comes

Will you be at heaven's door?

You can have the biggest of fits

And say the holy ghost passed through

But is that really reflected

In the things you do?

You can lecture others

About the wrong things they do

But before you look at others

You need to look at you

You can damn all the sinners

Tell them they're headed south

But what have you done lately

Besides run your mouth

You can call yourself a Christian

Spend all your days at church

But while you are praising His name

Have you been doing the Lord's work?

You can boast of good deeds

To show us the spirit is within

But why show it to us?

Show it to Him

You can memorize the bible

Know it from front to back

But you don't use it to regulate others

Regulate how you act

Take a good look at yourself

Not at what others do

Because when He comes to get his children

Will you be coming too?
