We have worshipped gods of this earth – v2

We have turned our backs on Jesus
we have cursed God’s holy name;
We have wallowed in the filth with the Prodigal
we have questioned why Christ came.

We have worshipped gods of this earth
mere mortals, men of clay;
We have exalted things of dust, of the earth
we have cursed the light of day.

Forgive us Lord in Your mercy
may we be made whole once more;
Walking with You loving Savior
for You alone are the Way.

Lead me loving God
walk with me within the yoke;
Let me take up my cross each day
may I seek to live with You.

Guard me from the world
from the sirens, this shiny objects;
All the false gods calling to me
including the illusion of my own power.

For we fail to recognize that we are dust
making gods of false idols;
All that is clay, that returns to the earth
to the ground from which we came.
