A bride betrayed, my heart it bleeds, Israel's wandered, sowing wicked seeds. Chasing idols, false and vain, Leaving love, for fleeting gain. Yet still I yearn, with open arms, To heal her wounds, and calm her harms. Though she's unfaithful, time and again, My love endures, beyond all ken. I see her scars, her broken plight, And offer grace, with all my might. Forgiveness flows, a cleansing stream, To wash away, her sinful dream. Return, my love, forsake your ways, Embrace my truth, in brighter days. For even now, my heart believes, In redemption's power, that love achieves. Return to me, though you have strayed, My love endures, unafraid. Forgiveness flows, a healing tide, Come home, my child, abide. Though sin may wound, and darkness loom, My grace is strong, dispelling gloom. Embrace my love, and find your peace, In my embrace, your worries cease. In shadows deep, where darkness lies, I chase a high, behind veiled eyes. Addiction's grip, a heavy chain, Bound to desires, and endless pain. I wander lost, through empty nights, Seeking solace in fleeting lights. My choices haunt, a bitter sting, As consequences, sorrow bring. I break his heart, with every fall, Yet still he calls, beyond the wall. Of shame and guilt, that holds me fast, Longing for freedom, from the past. But can I change, escape this fate? Or am I doomed, to seal my gate? A broken soul, with shattered dreams, Lost in the chaos, it all seems. Return to me, though you have strayed, My love endures, unafraid. Forgiveness flows, a healing tide, Come home, my child, abide. Though sin may wound, and darkness loom, My grace is strong, dispelling gloom. Embrace my love, and find your peace, In my embrace, your worries cease. Sow the wind, and reap the storm, Empty idols, offer no warm. Turn from the truth, embrace the lie, Destruction waits, as days go by. Rebellion's path, a treacherous road, Leading far from, God's abode. Forsake the source, of life and grace, And face the void, in empty space. Worship false gods, of wood and stone, Ignoring warnings, clearly shown. The harvest comes, a bitter yield, For hearts that hardened, on the field. Repent, return, while there is time, Before the judgment, seals your crime. For wrath will fall, on those who stray, And turn their backs, on the righteous way. Return to me, though you have strayed, My love endures, unafraid. Forgiveness flows, a healing tide, Come home, my child, abide. Though sin may wound, and darkness loom, My grace is strong, dispelling gloom. Embrace my love, and find your peace, In my embrace, your worries cease. The book of Hosea
