Idol Heart

Day after day, you long to be rich;

money is your only concern.

You work extra hours, and save like a miser,

just hoping to get your return.

�

What have you made as your idol,

is it riches, pleasure, or great fame?

What will it matter if you gain this whole world,

your outcome will still be the same.

�

You may have the devotion of many people,

Who may think you are number one.

Yet in the end, you will be all alone,

Defeated when all is done.

�

So please tell me what your idol has become,

With all of the power, the lust and the greed.

How will you live in a world full of you?

What have you gained with your seed?

�

That idol is anything that means more to you than God.

It is the ownership that takes over your mind.

You may believe you have control of this beast.

Yet the outcome is not what you will find.

�

For to cast aside all those idols,

To really know in whom you believe.

You must place all faith in one alone,

The God in whom you hope to receive.

�

Only one master can rule and reign,

Only one lord can fill that part.

For anything that you love more than God,

Is an idol that owns your heart.
