Thread Name: Origins: If You Don't Love Your Neighbor
Subject: ADD Version: You Don't Love God... (Carl Story)
YOU DON'T LOVE GOD IF YOU DON'T LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR
(Carl Story, as recorded by Carl Story)

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

There are many people who will say they're Christians,
And they live like Christians on the Sabbath day;
But come Monday morning, till the coming Sunday,
They will fight their neighbor all along the way.

In the holy Bible, in the book of Matthew,
Read the 18th chapter On the 21st verse.
Jesus plainly tells us that we must have mercy,
There's a special warning in the 35th verse.

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.

This is only slightly different from the Rhonda Vincent recording.
