Idolatry

Let there be a warning Christian
to every ear who hears
the idol placed within your home

to hold your mind at bay
from serving Christ the way you should
in wasting time for play
____
as ungodly things enter in
through seeing worldly views
television is your weakness
it’s Satan’s tool to use
____
bombarded by evil suggestions
a constant threat to you
the devil struts within your home
what are you going to do
____
for this stronghold has sent its roots
deep down and is a snare
strangling your resolve to void
the menace you’ve placed there
____
can Jesus have the time you waste
has TV won your heart
as angels watch your life go on
attracted to this art
____
remember when the Lord returns
how faithful will you be
dedicated to God’s commands
or in idolatry
