Hypocrites
Words & Music: Don Woolett
I saw an old friend the other day And struck up a conversation.
Then, I felt the Spirit move on me To offer him an invitation.
I said, “How about going to church with me. Our preacher preaches great!”
He said, “No thanks. I haven’t got the time. It’s those hypocrites I hate.”
He said, “There’s too many hypocrites in church, so I’ll stay home and pray,
Or maybe I’ll run down to the lake To fish and relax that day.”
I said, “OK. I see what you mean, But let me tell you this;
All the hypocrites aren’t in church. Some are right there where you fish.”
You can go to Wal Mart, target, Or McDonalds anytime
And shop or eat with hypocrites. There’s always some in line.
You can find them at the ball game. Ride with one in a car.
They’re at the movies and the social club And drinking at the local bar.
So, no matter where you go You’ll probably find a hypocrite.
But, I’d rather sit with one in church Than in the bottomless pit!
So, come and go to church with me. Get on your knees and pray,
Then there may be one less hypocrite To deal with every day.
(CH) I’d rather go to church with a hypocrite Than to go to hell with one.
At least in church I can find relief But in hell, they’re overrun.
Yes, there may be hypocrites in church But when all is said and done,
I’d still rather go to church with a hypocrite Than to go to hell with one.
This story has a moral. It’s plain as it can be;
Hypocrites are everywhere, I’m sure you will agree.
So, don’t fall victim to the line They’ll throw you everyday.
Just stand up tall, look them in the eye, And smile and say,
(CH) I’d rather go to church with a hypocrite Than to go to hell with one.
At least in church I can find relief But in hell, they’re overrun.
Yes, there may be hypocrites in church But when all is said and done,
I’d still rather go to church with a hypocrite Than to go to hell with one.
