Return to the Lord

Hosea 6:1-3

Let us return unto the Lord for He has torn,
He'll heal us, be so loving to the forlorn;
He will bind us up and revive us in 2 days,
Being before him on the third day we raise;
Let's understand God to follow on to know,
His going forth is sure as the morning glow;
He will come unto us in the form as a rain,
Provide water in nourishing the earth again.
God is faithful to us as we faithful in Him,
He is there for when everything is so grim;
Able to console us when nearly feel insane,
A power to mend our health rid us of a pain;
Guiding us through shadows when confused,
Pick us up when down and feelings' bruised;
We have an assurances of a life everlasting,
Some say as a miracle that's flabbergasting;
For as we pass from this life here on earth,
In a few days given a fantastic new birth;
For going by His side be nearer to be drawn,
To that place having no sunset and no dawn.
