Love Story Hosea 7:1-2

Love Story Hosea 7: 1-2
For Tom Trapp who put the salvation back into my story.

That knot in your stomach
That pain in your head
That ache in your mind
That feeling of dread.

You did that to yourself, do you remember?

That guilt on your face
That shame in your walk
That fear in your voice
That leaks out when you talk.

You did that also, do you remember?

You dug into that sin
With both hands and both feet
And you look back now
But you have no retreat.

You did those things to others, do you remember?

You harmed your own body
You slashed your own soul
You fucked your false gods
And piled on the coal.

You did that intentionally, do you remember?

I cried while I watched you,
Smouldered with frustration,
Lashed out in anger
But planned your salvation.

You read that in fascination, do you remember?

Your sin would not permit you
To return to me
And so I bore a savior
Who came to set you free.

You heard that spoken to you, do you remember?

And He is in you
And I am in him
And together we fill you
With Spirit, not sin.

You have accepted that, do you remember?
It's a promise of love forever.
