Hosea. 11-14

The Lord has always loved me.

As anyone can see.

But l stumble and fall.

Refuse to be obedient to my call.

Worshiping false gods.

That put me totally at odds.

For his purpose for my life.

And led to such constant strife.

Yet he kept on rescuing me.

Just as in history.

I know how my forbears.

Had their own fears.

Lord you have always been there

And we have been under your care

Now if we again repent.

Trust in the Lord who you sent.

Gods love will know no bounds.

Impossible as that sounds.

His paths are true and right.

l am righteous in his sight.

Lk. 20:1-19

People come questioning

That you might be suggesting.

That you have Gods authority.

But they will never really see.

For if I ask of them

Have you ever really been

Into Catholic worship

They curl up their lip.

Just as Gods servants came.

They had excuses that were lame.

When all was said and done.

Not really honouring the Son

Ps. 55:1-11

Oh God how I need you.

In everything l do.

Everything seems against me.

No future can l now see.

Everything is falling apart.

I am starting to lose heart.

Prov. 8:17-18

I Love those who love me.

It is just so good to see.
