Do You Think They'll Believe?
James 2:14-17
(14) What doth it profit, my brethren, though a man say he hath faith, and have
not works? can faith save him?
(15) If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food,
(16) And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled;
notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body;
what doth it profit?
(17) Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone.
When you tell them you love them,
Do you think they'll believe?
All they've heard from you's talking..
Talking's all that they've seen
But brother, talking's not walking,
And walking's just what they need
So when you say that you love them,
Do you think they'll Believe?
Will they believe, that you really love them
While you go to your supper and they go unfed?
Will they believe that you really love them
While you stay warm and they lay half dead in the streets?
Will They Believe?
Would you believe?
Will we Believe?
All you've been doing's talking
But faith without works is dead
James couldn't have been clearer
Do you believe what He said?
Oh we'll build bigger churches
But leave the real work undone
Then we'll say that we love them
Try telling that to the Son!
Will He believe, that we really love Him
When his children go starving and we're well fed?
Will He believe, that we really loved them
In our great big churches with the homeless half dead in the streets?
How can they believe? How can He believe?
And will we grieve, when He says we don't know Him
As we dig up our talent, will He just shake His head?
Will He believe, when we say we never saw Him
Imprisoned, sick or thirsty, or waiting to be fed?
Will He believe, when we say we love Him,
When we never ever did a single thing He said?
Will He believe?
When you tell Him you love Him,
Do you think He'll believe?
All He's heard from you's talking..
Talking's all that He's seen
But brother, talking's not walking,
And walking's just what He means
So when you say that you love Him,
Do you think He'll believe?
