The almost christian spends his life
     With constant burden of sacrifice
     He rises early to make amends
     For everything he knows is sin
     He goes to church and pays his tithe
     And despises what he calls compromise
     The almost christian fits the mold
     But there's no change to his heart
     And his soul

     You either know me or you don't
     You'll either defend me or you won't
     I want you to come to my sheep fold
     I want to change your heart
     And your soul

     The almost christian can learn to speak
     In religious terms that astound the weak
     He can build and organize
     To defend himself from compromise
     He can rise and stand his ground
     Til he feels that justice has been found
     The almost christian can be very bold
     But there's no change to his heart
     And his soul

     But the almost christian never feels
     The freedom from his own fears
     He never feels that blessed release
     That comes to those who inherit peace
     And no matter how he strives to relate
     He'll never see the pearly gate
     Cause without the trust he never knows
     There'll be no change to his heart
     And his soul

     You either know me or you don't
     You'll either defend me or you won't
     Come to the door of my sheep fold
     And I will change your heart
     And your soul
