Christian for one day a year

Here's the lyrics to my favorite Christmas song. Maybe I should go caroling? :)

Have you ever seen a statue,
it's cock and balls cut off?
Have you ever seen a missionary
carry a knife and a cross?
I did in New Zealand.
My risks showed me things defaced
by Christians who'd been there before me
and made me ashamed of my race.

Nazis ran the death camps,
their motto "Gott Mit Uns".
God was with them
and with Truman
but not with the Japs and the Jews.

African slaves were brought here
to fullfill our Christian needs;
If spacemen came and locked us in a cage
would we adopt their creed?

364 days,
might is right,
God's will be done,
but one day we put things behind us.
This day's for family and fun.
Christmas is soon upon us.
Oh, how I wish that Christ were here.
He could see how nice we can be
that one day of the year.
Christian for one day a year.
Christian for one day a year.
