Disciple's song 'Golden Calf' is a hard-hitting rock track that confronts modern idolatry. The lyrics use everyday frustrations, like losing a remote or dealing with tech issues, to illustrate how easily God gets pushed aside. The song references the biblical story of the golden calf, urging listeners to tear down the idols in their lives, whether they are material possessions, busyness, or even church activities that replace true worship. It's a call to repentance and a reminder to put God first, echoing Scripture about having no other gods and returning to a first love.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
I dropped my remote down the couch
I want to see golf I want it now
Computer's sick the phone line is down
Lost my wallet nowhere to be found [1 John 5:21]
Somehow you always end up second place
Somehow there's no time
I just don't feel like [Revelation 2:4-5]
Praising my church instead of God
We worship doormats
Seems kind of odd
My 454 four on the floor with all my gods
I got to have more [Exodus 20:3]
Take my break my golden calf down
Burn my fear my golden calf down [Exodus 32:1-6, 19-20]
