Betty Lou [Verse 1] Everybody knows old Betty Lou, She’s got opinions by the score. She can spot a Christian’s little fault Before they reach the church house door. She says, “Did you hear ‘bout Sister Jane? She took a sip of wine. But she claims that she’s a Christian… Now that’s a dangerous sign.” Betty Lou raises her third margarita, Then calls for one more round. ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, Betty Lou… You’re looking at the wrong One. God never says, “Be just like them.” He says, “Look at My Son.” If you’re measuring Jesus By people in the pew, You’ll miss the One Who comes to save… Even Betty Lou. ⸻ [Verse 2] She says, “Brother Tom lost his temper. You should’ve heard him yell. And he teaches Sabbath School… That don’t sit too well.” Betty Lou hollers at the waitress, “This service is a crying shame!” ⸻ [Chorus] Oh, Betty Lou… You’re looking at the wrong One. God never says, “Be just like them.” He says, “Look at My Son.” If you’re measuring Jesus By people in the pew, You’ll miss the One Who comes to save… Even Betty Lou. ⸻ [Verse 3] She says, “Church folks sure love gossip. They can’t keep one thing quiet. If that’s what being saved looks like, I’ll pass—I ain’t gonna try it.” Betty Lou leans toward her friend, “Now don’t you tell a soul…” ⸻ [Bridge] (spoken) Now here’s what Betty Lou doesn’t see… Christians stumble. Christians fail. Christians sometimes make a mess of things. But God never says, “Watch My followers.” He says, “Follow My Son.” ⸻ [Final Chorus] Oh, Betty Lou… You’ve been looking at the wrong One. God never sends Another sinner To show us how it’s done. He sends Jesus— Faithful, pure and true. So quit measuring His followers… Start measuring yourself By the One who came to save— Even Betty Lou.
