Now therefore fear the LORD, and serve him in sincerity and in truth: and put away the gods which your fathers served on the other side of the flood, and in Egypt; and serve ye the LORD.
Joshua 24:14 KJV
~~~~~~~~~~~
There comes a time when you must make a choice
To put away your worship of the world,
And like a young lad’s ever-changing voice
Becomes in speech mature, a man unfurled.
The gods this world promotes are full of need
And calls to you a thousand different ways,
Imploring you to buy their shiny bead,
But once you do you find it’s made of clay.
There is no better time to choose the Lord;
The hourglass is running out of sand.
The Spirit’s nudging you to leave the horde
And give your life to Jesus; take His hand.
Let go the worldly gods that stole your youth
To serve the Lord sincerely and in truth.
