Mark Walters - Adulation and Praise

Adulation and praise
Twisted sisters of desire
Bred in every heart that beats
Born to stoke a hellish fire

As America's new idols
Claim a title not their own
Who feed on adoration
But God's glory isn't shown

Siren songs on rocky shores
Call softly to the heart
As lives once bound for glory
Bid other's grace depart

Marvels of the modern times
Blazing in a lusty fire
Their TV antics all the rage
Their lies lost souls inspire

The sound of sweet success
Waits to answer all your dreams
But it's lust that fills your heart
Not the beat of angels wings

Mark Walters
