O Senhor, Não os Ídolos

We have sinned, Lord
Our hearts are so far away
And these idols of ours have made us blind as they are
Make Your people know again
That besides You, there is no other God

Who else could say
What will happen in the future?
Who else could do
What has been done since ancient times?
The Lord, and not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols

Who else could say
What will happen in the future?
Who else could do
What has been done since ancient times?
Only the Lord, and not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols

As it is written
Thus says the Lord
I remember you, My people
Your devotion when you were young
Your love when you were My bride
And how you followed Me in the desert
In a land where no seed is sown

Listen to the word of the Lord
What injustice did your ancestors find in Me
That they strayed so far away
Following worthless idols and becoming like them?
No one sought Me!

The priests did not say: Where is the Lord?
Those who handled the law did not know Me
The shepherds rebelled against Me
The prophets prophesied by Baal
And My people exchanged their glory
For that which profits nothing
And they committed two evils
They abandoned Me, the Fountain of Living Waters
And dug broken cisterns!

Oh, generation
Consider the word of the Lord!
Have I been like a desert to you?
Then why do you say
We are free to do whatever we want?
But acknowledge now that you have transgressed against the Lord
And prostituted yourselves with strangers
And did not heed My voice
Return to Me, My people, return, children!
Come back! And I will lead you to Zion

Tear down the rival loves
Expose all these lovers
And bring our hearts back to the day of the first love

For as it is written
I remember well, says the Lord
I remember well
When you were My bride and followed Me in the desert
In a land where no seed is sown

Oh, I know!
Oh, I know the Lord remembers
The days of the first love of His church
I know You are calling Your beloved again

Who else could say?
Who else could say
What will happen in the future?
Who else could do
What has been done since ancient times?
The Lord, and not the idols
Only the Lord, and not the idols

The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
Only the Lord, and not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols

And we declare our devotion forever

The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols (You will be a way)
The Lord, not the idols
Only the Lord, and not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols

They have mouths but do not speak
They have eyes but do not see
They have hands but do not feel
They have feet but do not walk

Only the Lord is God, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols

They have mouths but cannot speak, Lord
They have mouths but do not speak
They have eyes but do not see
They have hands but do not feel
They have feet but do not walk

Only the Lord is God, not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols

The Lord, no one else
The Lord, only the Lord
Say it to Him

The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
The Lord, not the idols
Only the Lord, and not the idols
The Lord, and not the idols
