Scandalous Love


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
