Hosea

The old book speaks of love so raw

Hosea’s tale breaking every law

A prophet told to take the untrue bride

To mirror grace where shame would hide

Gomer’s path was wild and stray

Hosea stayed when she'd betray

A lesson cold but truth runs deep

Forgive the wandering the vows you keep

Grace ain't easy it's heavy to hold

Like buying back what's already been sold

It ain't just a story ink on a page

It's redemption lit bright in every age

The world may call it foolish games

To love a soul that won't remain

But through these trials mercy shines

A covenant love that stands the time

Love unbroken through the storm

Promises given hearts reform

Even when the fall seems steep

Faith and love the soul they keep

He told me love her though she's gone astray

Keep it real in the pain don't walk away

Her heart don't listen but I'm here to stay

A prophet's call ain't no child's play

Bought her back from a world so cold

Silver and barley redemptions gold

A covenant unbroken though she folds

Grace speaks louder than what time molds

A mirror to our hearts this tale defines

Chasing false idols leaving love behind

But mercys stronger the ties they bind

Light breaks the chains in the sharpest grind

Tell me can you here the echoes of the past

A love so fierce it's made to last

Through every stumble in the shadow cast

Hosea’s story stands steadfast

Hosea's shout gotta teach the truth

Love relentless uncovers the proof

Through the storms here comes the voice

In the chaos love's still the choice
