Charlie Daniels Band, The - New Pharisees Lyrics






They go walking into church every Sunday morning
They the self-appointed sin patrol
Well they whisper and they gossip behind the back
Of anybody that they can't control

See that girl in the choir she's got evil desires
She must be drinking from the devil's well
She's a downright disgrace with that paint on her face
She looks just like a Jezebel

And they're running around putting everybody down
What are you trying to do?
You need to pick up the Book and take another look
'Cause brother I've got the news for you
You know Jesus was sent with a new covenant
And he even died for you

New pharisees like a fatal disease
Always flapping your jaws trying to live by the law

You see that boy over there with that long shaggy hair
Ought to be ashamed of his self
He wearing hip-hop clothes got a ring in his nose
Don't he know he going straight to hell

And then yesterday morning me and sister Johnson
Were talkin' on the party line
She said that Deacon Brown was having dinner downtown
Somebody seen him with a glass of wine

And you act so righteous and you look so pious
You always pay your tithe
But there's a rock in your heart and a fire on your tongue
And there ain't no love in your eyes
Bad news is begotten and the devil is smiling
You gossip and you criticize

New pharisees like a fatal disease
Always flapping your jaws trying to live by the law
Well you can't get by the law so quit flapping your jaws
New pharisees yes, you're a lot like me

    Pharisees, yes. Face paint no, don't need it. Gals don't need it. It's the devils lie.

    Christopher J Kimsey You see what you just did? You're judging someone for what they wear or if they wear makeup, or whatever reason you choose. That's why YOU WILL NOT BE A JUDGE IN HEAVEN!!! I promise you that. God wants pure, innocent, non-judgmental people who DO NOT judge a persons worth by their looks and what they wear, so what if they wear makeup, cool clothes, tattoos or piercings, SO WHAT!!! You are hypocritical and judgemental. You're the reason People DO NOT feel welcome in Church or refuse to go to Church. I don't go because there are just far too many of holier than thou, hypocritical PEOPLE! you're the evil God spoke about! People like you judge others and don't realize that one day YOU will be judged without mercy!. Just because you don't believe in makeup does NOT mean you are correct and a Saint! Whenever you spit venom, it hurts people. STOP JUDGING PEOPLE? You DO NOT know anything!!! Those people you Judge have more heart than you ever will and that's the kind of people God loves and protects, and they will inherit the Kingdom! You better stop with the negativity on people amd stop hating Gods Angels? "Judge NOT unless you be judged." You will be judged in the manner you judge other people. It will be without mercy, unless you change your devil heart!! The people you judge were sent by God to test the heart of people like you to see if you had LOVE in your heart, you moron, and you FAILED very poorly, I might add. A day will come when you will see what I am talking about. Change now before it's too late.
