The Gods We Make

Lyrics:

The gods we build
The gods we make
The gods we love
The God we hate

What we craft
With our human hands
A shape born
From what we deem grand

We who come
From molded clay
And try to carve
In that same way

Gods created
In the shape of man
To hold our wishes
As if they can

Hopes
Desires
Lusts
Heart’s fires

The things we wish
God would be
The traits we want
Without bent knee

Lone attributes
For safe appeal
Prayers as spells
And bribes to deal

The gods we build
The gods we make
The gods we love
The God we hate

Yahweh broken
Into tiny bits
And given names
As if that fits

Love alone
Without justice
Forgiveness only
Against what’s righteous

A doting father
With no obedient duty
Giving all
As though fists of candy

Bottled power
Like a genie
Boosting pride
To make life shiny

Smite my foes
Side with me
Abandon mercy
Make them flee

Make me rich
Make me wealthy
Give me women
And everything sightly

The gods we build
The gods we make
The gods we love
The God we hate

Make our gods
That look like us
With human hearts
Of rust and dust

Gods that praise us
Gods of pride
Of human greatness
And what we decide

If God’s not like this
He doesn’t exist
If He doesn’t empower
My every wish

I decide
Who god is
I determine
What is bliss

If God won’t serve me
He’s not God
I’ll call Him evil
And a wicked fraud

He’s imagination
A human construct
A poor creation
A cardboard cutout

Wishful thinking
Of stupid masses
Denial’s drug
Religious hubris

The gods we build
The gods we make
The gods we love
The God we hate

From eternal throne
The True God rules
Giving time
To both wise and fools

Those who seek Him
He will find
Those who want Him
He will mind

We He made
For us He waits
For us to learn
And pick our fates

The Book is open
The pen made ready
To list the names
Who choose rightly

The gods we build
The gods we make
The gods we love
The God who waits
