Idiocy of Idolatry

"What have I to do anymore with idols? I have heard Him, and observed Him: I am like a green fir tree. From me is Thy fruit found" (Hosea 14:9). "I am the Vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in Me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without Me ye can do nothing" (John 15:5). "Little children, keep yourselves from idols" (1 John 5:21).

Why should I have more to do
With idols of distraction?
I've heard my Savior's voice so true;
I've seen my Lord in action.

What idiocy turns my glance
From Christ where joys abound?
Lord, You're the Vine; I am Your branch:
From me is Your fruit found.
