Though You Say (Original)

The Lord always provides the best lyrics. This song is a warning to all on idolatry, and it heavily borrows on the language and theme of Romans 1.

Did you know that idols aren't only limited to statues or relics that people touch or pray to? Just about anything in our lives can become an idol: our desires, hobbies, jobs, entertainment, food...even our families.

In fact, God should always come first in our lives, but we don't always live up to that commandment. Let us repent of this sin, and live anew to the Lord!

The Bible tells us there is a day of judgement coming. As Paul warns the Romans, so we too should warn the world...in truth and love. God bless.

Though You Say (Lyrics)

(Inspired by Romans 1)

Though you say you don’t know,
It’s manifest in you for God has shown
His power since creating the world, and although you know…
You didn’t give him glory or thanks…

And now you’re futile in your thoughts, darkened in your hearts…
Exchanging the truth for lies.
You are lacking all excuse,
Suppressing God and truth,
Fools though you say you’re wise.
You’ve traded the glory of unchanging YAH
Into an image that is second-hand
And the penalty for which is due,
God has given you over to.

Though you say you (normal) don’t believe,
The gospel is His power to save from what I’ve seen
For everyone that calls the name, first the Jew then Greek.
Of this truth I'm not ashamed: "The just shall live by faith."

But now you’re worshipping a beast
And practice what you preach, given to a debased mind.
For you have given no regard, receiving your reward:
Full of envy, murder and strife.
Though you you know that those who practice evil things
On the day of the Lord are the most deserving
Of the penalty for which they're due
And God will give them over to.

And now you’ve pushed Him from your thoughts, hardening in your hearts…
Trading the truth for lies.
You are heaping on abuse,
Tightening the noose,
Serpents though you say you’re mice.
You’ve exchanged the the glory of the holy YAH
Into an image that is by your hand
And the penalty for which you're due,
God has given you over to.
