Lyrics
Verse 1
They pray on Sunday but they preying on the weak
Talk about Jesus while they stepping on the meek
Bible in their pocket and the evil in their hearts
Saying love your neighbor while they tearing us apart
Hallelujah chorus and the action tells the truth
Hypocrisy's a sickness I been watching since my youth
Pastor at the pulpit talking grace and salvation
Closing down the shelter leaving souls without a station
Chorus
Words and deeds
Gotta match what you believe
Show me something real
Not the lies you wear with pride
Words and deeds
Gotta match the life you lead
Your reflection don't lie
When the house is built on greed
Verse 2
They wave the cross around like it's a kind of shield
Use religion like a weapon on the spiritual field
Singing God is love while they hate their fellow man
Judge you for your struggles off the land they overspan
I ain't disrespecting what you hold inside your soul
But your words and your actions gotta play the same role
Can't serve two masters that's the scripture that they know
But they serving up the greed while they putting on the show
Chorus
Words and deeds
Gotta match what you believe
Show me something real
Not the lies you wear with pride
Words and deeds
Gotta match the life you lead
Your reflection don't lie
When the house is built on greed
Verse 3
Talking bout forgiveness while they holding grudges deep
Condemning all the sinners while they counting dirty sheep
Faith without the action man it's empty and it's hollow
Hard to follow Jesus when the followers don't follow
Every hollow hymn is a nail in the truth
Empty pews remember everything you do
Tongue can speak in tongues but the hands reveal the soul
Show me who you are when the offering bowl is full
Chorus
Words and deeds
Gotta match what you believe
Show me something real
Not the lies you wear with pride
Words and deeds
Gotta match the life you lead
Your reflection don't lie
When the house is built on greed
Outro
Words and deeds
Words and deeds
Can you hear me now
