JESUS AND THE PHARISEES song lyrics
by Joel Sattler

based on Matthew 22 and 24

when the Pharisees
came to Him they asked Him
what's the greatest of laws

and he answered them
with these words so true
they could not believe it all

ye shall love the Lord God
with all thy heart
and with all thy soul and mind

if you shut the kingdom
of Heaven against men
then ye are just so blind

trust not those who preach
only those who teach
be not fooled by their reach

the greatest shall be servant
the humble no fault
and they shall be exalted

then they asked him again
to tell unto men
whose son is the Christ

and he replied to them
the Son of David
and that should suffice

said the Spirit did be
inspired by He
so what did He speak

the Lord said unto the Lord
sit on my right hand
the foes under feet"

trust not those who preach
only those who teach
be not fooled by their reach

the greatest shall be servant
the humble no fault
and they shall be exalted

this he did try to say
so we'd understand
he tried to explain

some to lead you astray
will tell you they came
to come in my name

and when you hear of wars
I'll tell you what for
this must come to pass

nation rise against nation
but even this this too
shall come to pass

trust not those who preach
only those who teach
be not fooled by their reach

the greatest shall be servant
the humble no fault
and they shall be exalted
