how quickly we turn

And the LORD said to Moses, “Go down, for your people, whom you brought up out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves. They have turned aside quickly out of the way that I commanded them.”

Exodus 32:7-8a

It doesn’t take much

a simple desire

a thing that looks nice

something for which we yearn

and an idol sings out

and we want

...how quickly we turn

Our hearts are corrupt

we play in the dirt

sitting in sin’s slum

never seem to learn

that Jesus offers so much more

than we will ever imagine

...so quickly we turned

We need to root deep

into our desires

inventory our wants

appalling idols to spurn

and call out to Jesus

for all that we want

...and quickly return
