Poetry

Lord, take away my idols,
Carved deep within my soul.
The ones made out of greed,
That make me lose control.

The ones that fill my heart,
That take me away from You.
Idols in my daily life,
That keep me from what is true.

Idols of my dreams,
That haunt my waking hours.
Idols of my faith,
That take away Your power.

The ones others put before me,
The ones I chose to follow.
Idols of my mind and thoughts,
That leave me void and hollow.

Idols of this day and age,
That creep into my path.
Idols of my deepest thoughts,
That will lead me to Your wrath.

Idols that I hide,
In the dark closets of my life.
Idols from my past,
That gives me so much strife.

The ones I use to adorn,
The outer part of me.
The ones keeping me from,
Getting down on bended knee.

Lord, take away my idols,
I leave them at Your door.
For You are the only One,
I need to worship and adore.

Ezekiel 14:3

“Son of man, these men have set up their idols in their hearts, and put before them that which causes them to stumble into iniquity. Should I let Myself be inquired of at all by them?
