Parody of "Come Together" performed by the Beatles and Aerosmith and written by John Lennon & Paul McCartney
(Matthew 6:1-15)
NOTE: This song was recorded live at Lazarus Tomb in Arnold PA on March 9, 1996. It was originally released on a homemade cassette called "Beatleg" in late 1996. An even-more primitive version with different lyrics first appeared on our second studio cassette, "Want It: Dead or Alive," released December 31, 1992.
Don't come off practicin' your good works only
To be viewed by others as one holy roller
Just beware of hypocrisy
Got to keep it covert when you're doing good deeds
Keep prayer clandestine
You should go and look till you've got
Someplace secret you can talk to Father
Because He sees you secretly
Publically He'll bless you if you listen to Me
Come to Father right now ... on your knees
Bag repetition; keep it plain and simple
For the Lord knows what you need before you ask Him
He don't need Thou's and Thy's and Thee's
Told you keep it honest; He'll fulfill all your needs
Come to Father right now ... on your knees
Pray Holy Father, way up there in Heaven
Let Your kingdom come and let your will be done and
Please forgive our sins, fulfill our needs
God, don't lead us to temptation preserve us from evil
Come to Father right now ... on your knees
Matthew 6:1
"Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven.
