Love of God – v2


So hard to accept
the analogy, the truth
God’s love for us
like the story of Gomer
the prodigal wife
unrepentant
cheating on him
turning to the world
spitting in his face
the truth in this scripture
we are Gomer
unfaithful to our lover
to our husband, Christ
who came to earth
who sacrificed his life
for us, while we yet sinned
Love of God fall
fall upon us again
change our hearts
turn from the world
into your arms
our only hope
your love for all
