Hit 'em With a Hymnal (Altar Call)

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
To make sure they stick with it and obey

You just hit them with a hymnal and an altar call
Break them down and watch every knee fall
Have a hundred hungry children at your beck and call
If you just hit them 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 them
And that's when you get them
Sell them lies disguised as prizes when they're too worn down to see
Through some shyster selling timeshares in eternity

You just hit them with a hymnal and an altar call
Break them down and watch every knee fall
Have a thousand soul-starved servants at your beck and call
If you just hit them with a hymnal and an altar call
