idols & abominations

Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord God: Repent and turn away from your idols, and turn away your faces from all your abominations.

Ezekiel 14:6

I hold them close to my heart

idols that I cherish

I’m not easily torn apart

from the sins I nourish

they shall be my undoing

God points out my idolatry

I cringe as I admit it

His Word warns me of what will be

if I will not repent of it

I find it hard to do the unloosing

I must turn away from sin and turn to

the God I should love with single affection

I must find in Christ what I need to

repent of idols and change my direction

this is about my greatest love

Idols are abominations that damn my soul

and the more I see them killing me

the easier it is to yield control

to my gracious Savior whose love is true to me

He died to kill my idols and will help me rise above
