An Abandoned God

Hosea 11:1-6

God loved him as a son when being a child,
But He worshipped idols becoming defiled;
God taught him, taking by the arm to guide,
But knew not of being healed deep inside;
God drew him in bonding in bands of love,
That was showered upon from up above;
As he open up his mouth God left meat,
In leaving not to return to the same seat;
For he has taken up the sword to conquer,
The cities using his own counsel to concur.
God loves all of his children everywhere,
Unfortunately for many they never share;
No longer relying on the Heavenly Father,
A loss of faith for not needed any further;
God is eager to take us in the direction,
While his children tend to be dereliction;
When everything is so sunny and bright,
We forget who pays the bill for the light;
Time to look to repair your relationship,
Before God tells you to abandon ship.
