Many prophets are here as a witness for God

Many churches they now represent
       C                           F                  C
And if you've been redeemed you'll know them whom God sent

For we know by their fruits whom they serve

In the presence of God could you stand
      C                        Am            C

Some may stand in their church and proclaim they love God
                                  G7
And may win earthly fame in their speech
        C                         F           C
If they love not their brother in deed and in truth
                  G7                C
The right hand of God they'll never reach

If your heart don’t go out in the service of God
                                     G7
Then you’re lost with the sinners on earth
       C                    F           C

You don’t live what you preach in your church
