Idol

I need you, I mean I love you, I got to have you, there is no other, can't live without
You
You the bread to my butter, the beach for my summer, matter of fact, you the reason
I stutter

Whenever I'm around you, I praise the day I found you
Actually, I worship the ground you walk on, so walk it out, do your dance, get your wiggle
Twerk and wobble on
You perfect baby, I don't think you can do no wrong

You said you'd never leave, and so in your word I believe
Look here, I'd give my life for you, I'd fight for you, stop living trite for you, this my
Haiku girl, I'd die for you
What else you want me to do

I'd change for you, you don't want me to
Well then I'd stay the same for you
You need some money
Well then I'll work overtime for you

Wait, what
I work too much
Well then I'll take vacation time for you
You don't, you don't like this shirt

Well then I'll put on one that's blue
You don't like my friends
Well then I'll tell them I can only hang with you
Really

You don't like going to church
Alright, well we can get there right before it ends
Anything for you
You want me to prove my love, right

Well I guess I could have sex with you
You think I study too much
Well I suppose I could quit school
For you

You want me to move
It's cool, it's cool, anything for you
I don't know who said it but I actually would walk 10,000 miles for you
I'm your puppet, without strings I'd do exactly what you want me to do

You don't think you got it that bad, huh
Well how do you feel about the person you kiss
One singer puts it like this
Girl, I put you first now

You made me, helped mold me, turned me into a man
Come on now
Holy Ghost help him understand that God comes first and that's who made him a man
Another puts it like this

You're my everything and everything is you
You're my everything and everything is you
Now in conclusion let me tell you why this most certainly isn't true
We suffer from a slight case of idolatry, absence and apology with a side of atrocity

Allow me to help you see
There's an empty spot inside all of us reserved for God
However, we fill it with other things and make them our gods
See, the word idolatry comes from the Greek word ideolateria

And besides my pronunciation, what's even scarier is that it's a compound of two words
Image or figure and worship
Worshiping a figure
Nah, still don't think you got it in you

Well, the dictionary defines idolatry as not only the religious worship of idols, but also
Excessive or blind admiration, reverence or devotion
Not just a statue that looks like Satan
And our music helps set that in motion

Don't see the connection
That's all right
Be patient and ask yourself, where is my devotion
Synonyms include glorification, homage, worship and praise

So examine your next phrase
False gods and goddesses are esteemed in affection and regarded with delight
We call it true love, but we couldn't be any further from right
Golden calves and Buddha ain't the only things getting worshipped tonight

Any person regarded with blind admiration is an idol
From the dictionary to the Bible, romantic fantasies foster false conceptions and fallacies
Then spread like disease
Tell me, do you think the Lord is pleased

His word says, and I quote, all the gods of the people are idols, but the Lord made the
Heavens
End quote
Check your Bibles

A god is what controls you
Or in other words, the reason behind doing what you do
Will change for everybody
But the one true living God, and I don't need a love song to prove that's true

King Asa took courage and put away the idols
It takes courage to recognize we've been worshipping idols
Furthermore, those that worship the idols provoke the God's wrath
But he is God alone

That means one, so you do the math
He deserves all the glory, not just half
He said, I am the Lord, your God, turn ye not unto idols
And yet we have

Nevertheless, a proper perspective and priorities is what needs to be had
Likewise, don't be sad if you can see your run-ins with idolatry temporarily
Repent and move forward, for this is my new philosophy and thesis
No one should be your everything except Jesus

And there's no one, no one, no matter what them singers say, who's gonna love you like
Jesus
Never leave you like Jesus
I already died and rose again for you like Jesus

Is worthy to be praised but Jesus
And needless to say, your mate ain't Jesus
So the next time you worship or hear one of them songs, just think about Jesus, cause
That's where all worship belongs
