A song about the things we worship without noticing: screens, success, our own reflection and the approval of others. Every idol shatters eventually and none of them can save. Only God is a foundation that holds, and He calls us by name.
Idols Made of Glass lyrics
Screens glow like sacred fire, We kneel to the noise and call it desire. Chasing crowns that rust in our hands, Building kingdoms on sinking sand. We trade the truth for empty gold, Hearts get bought and souls get sold. Every dream we raise too high, Falls to pieces in the sky. Idols made of glass — they shatter when they’re thrown, We bow to what we build, but we’re breaking on our own. Voices in the silence keep calling out His name, But we can’t see the fire through the idols we’ve made. The mirror’s a preacher, the job is a king, The weight of approval’s a noose on a string. We’re starved for love in a digital cage, Trading eternity for fifteen seconds of fame. We trade the truth for empty gold, Hearts get bought and souls get sold. Every throne we carve from stone, Turns to dust when we’re alone. Idols made of glass — they shatter when they’re thrown, We bow to what we build, but we’re breaking on our own. Voices in the silence keep calling out His name, But we can’t see the fire through the idols we’ve made. Tear them down, burn them all, Every tower’s gonna fall. What we worship cannot save, Every idol is a grave. Idols made of glass — they shatter when they’re thrown, We bow to what we build, but we’re breaking on our own. Only one foundation, only one true flame, He breaks apart the idols, and He calls us by our name.
