a pied piper – v2

Taking our youth to Babylon
far from the Temple
seeking to change them;
to praise other gods

God is jealous, righteous,
demanding our faithfulness;
love for our neighbors
and focus on our God

A pied piper, a false prophet,
corrupting the nation’s children;
seeking to change their hearts
to praise other gods

A bully and a braggart,
pillaging the Temple;
taking out the sacred things
to praise other gods

Drinking from the golden cups
that the priests used in worship;
using the sacred things
to praise other gods

God’s hand upon the wall,
writing out His judgment;
Your time will soon be up
your candle snuffed out

An unseen evil, but seeing
a pied piper, a false prophet;
corrupting our children’s hearts
to praise other gods
