"Their idols are silver and gold, the work of men's hands.... They that make them are like unto them; so is everyone that trusteth in them.... Ye that fear the LORD, trust in the LORD: He is their help and their shield" (Psalm 115:4-11). "For even hereunto were ye called: because Christ also suffered for us, leaving us an example, that ye should follow in His steps" (1 Peter 2:21).
The nations have idols of silver and gold;
They fashion their eyes and their ears.
Their makers become like the image they mold:
Not one of them sees, neither hears.
But we have been called to become like our Lord,
For He is our Help and our Shield.
And so as we trust Him, His grace will afford
His likeness to those who will yield.
O Lord, we can see in the steps that we trace
Your likeness in Christ upon earth.
So help us to follow His pattern by grace,
Displaying His beauty and worth.
