Lyrics Tax Collector & the Pharisee - Colin Buchanan

Tax collector puts the money in the bag
Bag on the shelf, gotta keep it for himself
He′s so greedy taking from the needy
Eyes are beedy, he's so seedy

Tax collector, he′s a mighty bad man.

But at the temple when they prayed
It was a good man lost and a bad man saved.
One cried mercy, one did not
It was a bad man saved and a good man lost.

Well the pharisee goes putting on a show
Giving to the poor keeping the letter of the law
Singing la dee dee, just look at me
Can't you see, I'm so ho-ly

Well the Pharisee seems a mighty good man.

But at the temple when they prayed
It was a good man lost and a bad man saved.
One cried mercy, one did not
It was a bad man saved and a good man lost.
(A bad man saved and a good man lost).

All of us have got sin in our heart,
We can′t budge, God′s gonna judge.
Selfish pride we can't hide what′s inside. You decide

Are you a tax collector or a Pharisee

Cause at the temple when they prayed
It was a good man lost and a bad man saved.
One cried mercy, one did not
It was a bad man saved and a good man lost.
(A bad man saved and a good man lost).
