No Idol's

Clear The Stage 

 Anything I put before my God is an idol, anything I want with all my hear is an idol, anything I can’t stop thinking of is an idol and anything that I give all my love is an idol.


Lyrics

Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze
If that’s the measure you must take to crush the idols
Jerk the pews & all the decorations, too
Until the congregations few, then have revival
Tell your friends that this is where the party ends
Until you’re broken for your sins, you can’t be social
Then seek the Lord & wait for what He has in store
And know that great is your reward so just be hopeful

‘Cause you can sing all you want to
Yes, you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to
And still get it wrong
Worship is more than a song

Take a break from all the plans that you have made
And sit at home alone and wait for God to whisper
Beg Him please to open up His mouth and speak
And pray for real upon your knees until they blister
Shine the light on every corner of your life
Until the pride and lust and lies are in the open
Then read the Word and put to test the things you’ve heard
Until your heart and soul are stirred and rocked and broken

‘Cause you can sing all you want to
Yes, you can sing all you want to
You can sing all you want to
And still get it wrong
Worship is more than a song

We must not worship something that’s not even worth it
Clear the stage, make some space for the One who deserves it

Anything I put before my God is an idol
Anything I want with all my hear is an idol
Anything I can’t stop thinking of is an idol
Anything that I give all my love is an idol

‘Cause I can sing all I want to
Yes, I can sing all I want to
We can sing all we want to
We can sing all we want to
We can sing all we want to
And still get it wrong
Worship is more than a song

Clear the stage and set the sound and lights ablaze
If that’s the measure you must take to crush the idols

No Idol's
Does anything in your life take the place that is meant for God? Do you love someone or something so much that you love them more than God? Is there something that you can't get out of your mind or something that you spend all your time attending too, more than you time with God? If this is the case then today I will be straight with you and say you have an idol(s) in your life. Idol's can be anything or anyone.  Anything that takes the place of God in our life. They can also be godly ambitions or even godly goals and targets as the song says "anything I put before my God is an idol."

God wants to be and should be at the centre, number one. Everything, in the life of a christian. Everything we do and say should be for his glory and bring honour to his name. Today I ask that you will not go away from reading this saying "That was a nice song." or "That was a well presented piece." but that you fall on your face before God and ask him to remove any idols you have in your life and to remove anything you have put before him. I pray that you will love God with all you heart and serve him in a way that is honorably in his sight. 

God bless and Love you dearly

Markus.
