It was the end for this nation that had
so much hope?
Why, why did they end up on this
long downhill slope?
Captive to their adversary,
by God no longer protected.
Chosen,destined,a mighty nation,
especially selected.
Now fallen,defeated,failed,dispersed,
and destroyed.
Seems so harsh, what did they do?
We’d do well to avoid.
Ezekiel is shown why his people deserve
this terrible sentence.
Thought hidden from view their
secret detestable offence.
In the inner rooms of the temple of God
he was told.
Shocking wanton acts of wickedness,
there to behold.
How could it be that men know God
and yet do this?
Secret sins denied, too easy,
this challenge to miss.
No nothing is hidden from God
deep within this heart.
He knows my every thought,
every secret,furtive, fart.
This where His very Spirit dwells
I know it would offend.
What hope have I for this wicked,
wicked heart to mend?
But somehow he sees a remnant
of goodness there.
Troubled, disappointed,grieving,
He knows I do care.
Like Psamist now my inmost being,
does sing in praise.
Forgiveness, healing, restoration,
for my child He says.
He does not treat as we,
should expect.
This wickedness has no impact,
or real effect,
As a Father has compassion,
Iv’e come to know,
my God’s absolute forgiveness
he will bestow.
He knows my every failing,
right from the start.
Yet His great love stops us,
from being apart.
Amazing it is He would bless,
it would seem.
Those who truly seek Him,
will know what I mean.
My heart is changing from thinking,
any bad thing.
As it is filled with praise,
and to God it does sing.
