Be Not Righteous Overmuch

### Be Not Righteous Overmuch (Verse 1) “Be not righteous overmuch,” the scriptures say, When a woman drowns, don't turn away. If you can save her, do not hesitate, For letting her drown seals your fate. (Chorus) How dare you not act, in her time of need, For righteousness is shown in deed. Learn from Saul, who showed false grace, His pity led him to a fallen place. (Verse 2) Saul spared Agag, thought he was wise, But his judgment brought his own demise. A prophet's word, ignored in pride, A lion struck, justice applied. (Chorus) How dare you not act, in her time of need, For righteousness is shown in deed. Learn from Saul, who showed false grace, His pity led him to a fallen place. (Bridge) In every choice, in every act, Remember the truth, keep the fact. False righteousness can lead astray, True justice shines in the light of day. (Chorus) How dare you not act, in her time of need, For righteousness is shown in deed. Learn from Saul, who showed false grace, His pity led him to a fallen place. (Outro) “Be not righteous overmuch,” heed this call, Let compassion guide you, stand tall. For in the balance of justice and grace, True righteousness finds its rightful place.
