Idolatry Lyrics & Tabs by Mouth of the South
Idolatry
guitar chords lyrics
These adulterous lips have purged 1, 000 lies.
I am a wolf in a sheep's disguise, paralyzed by the fear of failure.
But I've already failed in His eyes.
Caught up like a thief in a trap, my lust is the loose and it's wrapped around my neck.
I'm suffocated by the weight of regret.
I thought she was my bride but I forgot she was your daughter.
We were blind, we walked like sheep to the slaughter.
Father, please forgive me for I know now what I do.
I swore this would be different but I never followed through.
Oh God, Oh God. What a wretched man I am.
Oh God, Oh God. Dear God I am not a man.
Since when did I become a thief? I reached my hands in the pockets of a God who lives by grace and I stole the innocence of His child.
I know I'm better than this.
Oh God take my lust before I cave and degrade something
beautiful again.
I know I'm better than this.
Oh God take my lust before I cave and degrade something
beautiful again.
Keep her safe in your arms and hide her away from me. I am a monster, I am a thief. Show me how to be a man.
This is not the real me, I long for change.
'Cause I want a bride to love, not an idol to rape.
