Who Do You Love?

I want you here with Me,
But you’ve been keepin’ other company.
You can’t sit still, it’s plain to see,
You love the world, and you’re avoiding Me.

My Word sits there upon your desk,
But you love your books and magazines the best,
You prefer the light of your TV,
You love the world, and you’re avoiding Me.

You used to pray, you were so brave,
Now you can’t keep even
One appointment we’ve made.
Oh, I gave My blood to save your life.
Tell Me, tell Me, is it right?
Will you leave Me here alone again tonight?

Well, I love you still more and more,
But you’re fighting everything I’m working for.
You’re acting like My enemy,
You love the world, and you’re avoiding Me.

These other loves, they’re hurting you,
If you end up losing Me, then what will you do?
Oh, I gave My blood to save your life.
Tell Me, tell Me, is it right?
Will you leave Me here alone again tonight?

I want you here with Me,
But you’ve been keepin’ other company.
You prefer the light of your TV.
You love the world, and you’re avoiding Me.

If we (and I include myself here) as a family of believers were to spend as much time in the Word of God as we do in front of our TV and computer screens, there is nothing we could not accomplish for the Lord.

Just something to consider as you go about your day...
