IDOLS OF MY HEART

Who is this Jesus?

Who comes to me

And shows me 

the idols of my heart

Who almost begs me

To lay them down

so I can truly discover

how much greater He is


Who is this Jesus?

Who says to me

"To whom will you compare Me?

Who is My equal?"

"Have no other gods before Me!"


Who is this Jesus?

Who gave His all

For me

Who asks for nothing less

Who receives much less

But pursues me 

relentlessly

anyway 

to show me His greatness


Who is this Jesus?

Who has carried me from birth

Still carries me even now

Who longs to still carry me

And deliver me

from the idols 

that hold my heart captive 


Who is this Jesus?

That asks me to

Lay down those idols

That I've made sacrifices for

That have governed my priorities

That steal my time, my affections

From Him

That divide and weaken my heart

that take what does not belong to them  .  














Who is this Jesus?

To whom I can say

Indeed I must say

You are above all

Above all powers

Above all kings

Above all wisdom

And all the ways of man

There is none like You     


Who is this Jesus?

Whose heart longs for me

Whose heart breaks for me

Who is breaking my heart for Him

As I come to Him

To that place of surrender

Who draws me to Himself

Whose infinite kindness 

leads me to repentance


Who is this Jesus?

He is the Lord and most worthy of praise

He is to be feared above all gods

For all the gods of the nations are idols

but the Lord made the heavens

He is the Lord, the great God,

the great King above all gods

Come, let us bow down in worship,

let us kneel before the Lord our Maker


Teach me your way, Lordthat I may rely on Your faithfulness;
give me an undivided heart, that I may fear Your name.  Ps 86:11


Above all kingdoms, above all thrones
Above all wonders the world has ever known
Above all wealth and treasures of the earth
There's no way to measure what you're worth
Crucified, and laid behind the stone
You lived to die, rejected and alone
Like a rose trampled on the ground
You took the fall and thought of me
Above all

    1. You are welcome, Cindy. I need them too. Learning how demanding and destructive idols can be.
