You can know all the scriptures, have Bibles in your reach,
But when push comes to shove, do you practice what you preach?

Anyone can go to church and collapse upon the floor,
But when Judgment Day comes, will you be at Heaven's door?

You can have a big fit and say the Holy ghost passed through,
But is that really reflected in all the things you do?

You can yell far and wide proclaiming your love for Christ,
But what have you given Him, when for you He gave his life?

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 the sinners and tell them they're headed south,
But what have you done lately besides just run your mouth?

You call yourself a Christian, and spend your days at church,
But while you're praising God, are you going about His work?

You can boast of good deeds to show us the spirit's within,
But why show it to us? You should be showing it to Him!

You can memorize the Bible, know it from front to back,
But 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 He be coming for you too?
