Hosea 6-10

Now I must turn to him.

So torn to pieces, within.

Surely if I come again.

He will take away all pain.

Though his word cuts like a knife.

It helps me change my life.

To heal and restore.

My failures ignore.

Though slothfulness surrounds.

His love to me still abounds.

As wearily I do see.

No power within me.

All that God has given.

Useless though know forgiven.

I acknowledge you.

Doesn’t show in what I do.

Go to great lengths.

To prove my strengths.

Looks good my sacrifice.

Then ignore the words advice.

What will happen to this man.

The day of reckoning is at hand.

What can I expect.

Others naturally, reject.

For l will falter.

Before my broken altar.

But if l live in love.

Now see power from above.

For the day will surely come.

God will be seen by everyone.

Mark. 14:43-52

Seeming disaster and arrest.

Lord’s done what he knows best.

I fight with my sword.

Not dependent on my Lord.

Though such a terrible sight.

Scared l now take flight.

Accused alone my sins to bear.

I have no faith, so full of fear

Ps. 139:7-12

Where can l go.

That Spirit doesn’t know.

For he is always here.

I am under his care.

Even darkness will not hide.

When in you l abide.

Night will shine like the day.

When always do what you do say.

Prov. 13:24

Though may seem quite odd.

Love does not spare the rod.
