I don't know what you think a Christian is
I've known so many people
That think a Christian means
Going to church a lot
And you may have heard this before
But going to church doesn't make you a Christian
Any more than going to McDonald's
Makes you a hamburger
Sayin' a prayer don't make you a Christian
People in every religion pray
Even praying to Jesus doesn't make you a Christian
He says, "Many shall come in that day
And say 'Lord, Lord!'"
He says, "Depart from Me,
I never knew you"
Having the gifts of the Spirit
Or looking like you got 'em
Doesn't mean you a Christian
Jesus said, "Many shall come in that day
And say, 'Lord, did we not
Cast out demons and raise the sick
And all kinds of stuff'"
And He'll say the same thing
"Depart from Me, I never knew you"
Y'know what a Christian is
I got a really good definition—
Someone who's bananas for Jesus
Someone who loves the Lord thy God
With all his heart
All his soul
And all his strength
Don't forget the second part
And he loves his-everybody else
As much as he loves himself
Even-Paul goes even further
He prefers that others get served before him
An unquenchable, undeniable love
That God puts in our heart
And that love doesn't just stay
Within the borders of the United States
Or in the borders of our own denominations
Or in the borders of our own church
But it's so large
And it's so explosive
It explodes everything that gets in its way
With gentleness and power
From the Holy Ghost
