You cannot gossip, and cheat and lie,
And make it to those pearly gates.
You must love your neighbor
As you love yourself.
Your heart can't be filled with hate.

-CHORUS-
Don't act, but be a Christian,
Like the Bible says to be.
If you're gonna live right,
Let go of the wrong.
Brother, fall down on your knees.

There's more to religion
Than Sunday mornin'.
It takes seven days of the week.
You just don't know who might be listenin'.
Be careful what you speak.

Don't act, but be a Christian,
Like the Bible says to be.
If you're gonna live right,
Let go of the wrong.
Brother, fall down on your knees.

Don't act, but be a Christian,
Like the Bible says to be.
If you're gonna live right,
Let go of the wrong.
Brother, fall down on your knees.

Brother, fall down on your knees
