Church Folks by Dottie Peoples Lyrics
We got to get it together
My sister and my brother
We're the example in the world today
We got to show the whole world
Ensemble:
Jesus Christ is the way
Verse 1:
Church folks sitting 'round
Talking about each other
Need to stop doing what you're dong
And love one another
There's so much gossiping around the church
When you say good morning sister
She says child I got some real good dirt
Gossip that is
Talking 'bout church folks, O-o church folks
Verse 2:
We have those who come to praise and worship
To clap, dancе and have a good time
But when thе collection plate comes around
They don't put in one dime
*Repeat
Verse 3:
If the Pastor buys a new car
Or a brand new home
You start saying I'm not giving no more
You need to leave the Preacher alone
*Repeat
Verse 4:
Some walk in Sunday morning
Looking cute with their nose up in the air
When asked to help the homeless and the hungry
You act like you just don't care
*Repeat
