I want to knock down your idols...

I want to knock down your idols I gave them to you I should be able to destroy them I should be allowed to crush them with the same hammer I used to drive the nails into Christ's Hands and Feet I want to uproot your garden The one I planted and presented to you Flowers of all shapes and colors I thought You needed reminders of the ideas I once held dear Dear enough to till in fertile soil That have proved poisonous Black and rotten to eyes of age While the serpent has not found the young yet I want to pull them out, all of them out I need to yank them out, weeds and all Maybe it won't be too late To sow better seed in that growing land
