Idolatry Images

Exodus 20:2-4

One Lord as God bringing out of bondage,
No other gods preclude in paying homage;
Not making a graven image or a likeness,
Depicting of Heaven or of His Greatness.
As well as the subterranean surface below,
And located where the Inferno Rivers flow.
Many idols are filling our lives everyday,
We claim to have only one God as to say;
But how many items do we put before God,
That seems to win out in getting the nod;
We tend to turn on the TV or the computer,
Before opening a Bible in being our tutor;
Our lustful eyes in adoration of a new car,
When your old one has been driven too far;
Mistaking love for lust is idolatry as well,
As a beauty queen puts a guy under a spell;
We do only have one true God as our Lord,
As all manmade objects need to be ignored;
Our free time is available for us to devote,
To our creator and redeemer that I promote.
