Verse

I have many idols in my life

Promising the world but leaving me to die

But Your Word, Lord, stands forever!

Like the grass the flowers

Idols promise life but never satisfy

But Your Word, Lord, stands forever!

Idols promise pleasure

This pleasure leads to bondage

Bondage leads to death

Leaving me just wanting more

Idols separate us

From the One Who made us

From the single greatest God Who can restore!

Chorus

I will tear down the idols that I’ve built to me

Destroying them! Crushing them underneath my feet!

I will tear down the idols that keep me from You!

Rip them from my life doing whatever I must do!

I will tear down the idols and cling to Your Word -

The Pillar! The Foundation of the very universe!

I will tear down the idols and fall on my face!

Running back to You and to Your sweet amazing grace

And declare Your Word stands forever!

Verse

Anything competing for Your love

An idol in the making! Exalting self above!

But Your Word, Lord, stands forever!

Idols promise pleasure

This pleasure leads to bondage

Bondage leads to death

Leaving me just wanting more

Idols separate us

From the One Who made us

From the single greatest God Who can restore!
