People look to other gods–ones that they have made
Thinking they bring them life and peace, and from disaster shade
How can something made of wood-protect you from a fire?
Can something that does not move, bring you your heart’s desire?

My people have forsaken Me, a spring of living water
To lean upon an idol large that easily can totter
An image fashioned by their mind, that they can understand
Something they can see and hold, to make a strong demand

You have brought this on yourselves, by forsaking Me
Desecrating My land with idols under every spreading tree
What fault did you find in Me that you have strayed so far?
You even think your destiny is written by a star

Return to Me, and I will return to you, says your Heavenly Father
I’m searching for you daily, My beloved son and daughter
I will not rest until I see you running back to Me
The plans I have for you are good-stretching to eternity

Jeremiah 2:11-13 – “Has a nation ever changed its gods? (Yet they are not gods at all.)  But my people have exchanged their glorious God for worthless idols. 12 Be appalled at this, you heavens, and shudder with great horror,” declares the LORD. 13 “My people have committed two sins: They have forsaken me, the spring of living water, and have dug their own cisterns, broken cisterns that cannot hold water.”
