One time I heard a pastor say
If you really want to show some folks the way
Sometimes you have to use a little sleight of hand
Just to make sure they stick with it and obey
Just hit 'em with a hymnal and an altar call
Break 'em down and watch every knee fall
Have a hundred hungry children at your beck and call
If you just hit 'em with a hymnal and an altar call
Well it's high and low and high and low
And when you're done they won't even know what hit 'em
And that's when you get 'em
Sell 'em lies disguised as prizes
When they're too worn down to see
Through some shyster selling timeshares in eternity
Just hit 'em with a hymnal and an altar call
Break 'em down and watch every knee fall
Have a thousand soul-starved servants at your beck and call
If you just hit 'em with a hymnal and an altar call
