Lyrics
There is a deep place in everyone's heart,
Where the light of God is obscured by dark,
Chambers far placed from Heavenly schemes,
Crumbling idols dwell in these ravines,
Idols can take forms of silver and gold,
They can be concepts or be flesh and bone,
Praising and raising worldly gods on high,
Ego and pleasure that won't be denied,
Crumbling idols wear rust, dust and web,
This is the decore of a treasure's end,
None you can trade and none you can sell,
All must remain just as crumbling idols,
Idols are forged out of ignorance and pride,
These are the shackles to sin that will bind,
Look up to Jesus and make a fresh start,
Clean out these idols from your crumbling heart,
