Sunday Christian

There's lots of Sunday christians walkin' over this land
They go to church one day a week and take a christian stand
They dress up in their Sunday dress so everyone can see
They're only Sunday christians one day a week
You can held the Sunday christians in church one day a week
They never hear a word that's said and usually go to sleep
The Lord says to be a christian you gotta get out on your knees
And pray to be a christian seven days a week
They party every Saturday night until the break of day
They never get to church on time because they sleep too late
Then they walk proudly down the aisle and take the front row seat
For you're a Sunday christian one day a week
There's lots of Sunday christians...
Now when this life is over and it's Judgement Day
There's lots of Sunday christians that's gonna have to pay
The Lord will start to count 'em out and they will hear him speak
I can't use no Sunday christians one day a week
There's lots of Sunday christians...
They're only Sunday christians one day a week
