If a man says that he has faith,
but hasn’t any works to show,
what use is it, I ask you now?
It’s fruitless, don’t you know? 

Even so, faith without works
is dead, being by itself.
You cannot be a true Christian
if your deeds are put on a shelf! 

Show me your faith without works,
I’ll show you my faith BY mine!
You’ll know a Christian every time,
their works are a clear sign.

 You believe that Jehovah’s one?
Big deal!  The demons do, too!
But if you’re working for the Lord,
His love is going to show through! 

The body without the Spirit,
like faith without works, is dead.
Show the world you belong to Him!
Work for Him as you are led!
