Scandalous
love for us
offered
by our God
sending
the Messiah
to
heal our brokenness
Scandalous
love for the unfaithful
like
Gomer, each one of us
sinning
before our bridegroom
our
walk in this life
needing
his healing, his sacrifice
unable
to turn from the world
rolling
around in our own filth
writhing
in agony
