Sunday morning showtime
Whitewash suit is pressed
Kiss your study Bible and say, "I am the best"
The make up for your character is in your vanity
With such an act you ought to be an Oscar nomine
"Hallelus" and "Praise the Lords" are flowin from your lips
While telling babes in Christ that youve got God within your grips
Into chugging milk, youre acting so mature
But if you ate the meat of Scripture, man, youd choke on it for sure
Chorus:
Youve got an altar ego
The church is your stage
Youve got an altar ego
Your works are on parade
Altar ego
Forget about the Lord
Youve got an altar ego
Youve got your full reward
Offerings the time when proving pietys a cinch
Thumbing Andrew Jacksons, so that all can catch a glimpse
Your right hand tells your left handthe great sacrifice youve made
But the widows penny next to you just blew your wad away
Youve got an altar ego
The church is your stage
Youve got an altar ego
Your works are on parade
Altar ego
Forget about the Lord
Youve got an altar ego
Youve got your full reward
Your pride has got you on a chain and youve become its slave
Lay your ego on the altar or itll lay you in your grave
Youve got an altar ego
The church is your stage
Youve got an altar ego
Your works are on parade
Altar ego
Forget about the Lord
Youve got an altar ego
Youve got your full reward
