The Church and the world once walked apart
On the changing shores of time.
For according to God’s Holy Bible,
The Church and the world don’t rhyme.
How can two walk together,
Unless they be agreed?
How can a Christian love the world,—
Unless he be DECEIVED?
The Bible says love not the world,
Neither the things therein.
Altho’ some try to walk with God,
While they still live in sin.
Unequally yoked they walk on,
Hand in Hand agreed,
The Church and the world, the best of friends,
DECEIVING and being DECEIVED.
Many are called, but few are chosen
To walk Salvation’s Trail
Tho’ multitudes have filled the pews,
They’re just dressed up for Hell!
They tickle their ears and scratch their backs,
Before they have believe.
And add them to the Church of God.
How sad, so many DECEIVED!
They build their empires to the sky
To show the works of man.
They brag and hammer with the world,
Tho’ they build on sinking sand.
Their vast domains will tumble down,
Tho’ now they can’t conceive
That eternity will soon reveal
That the so—called church was DECEIVED!
