God's Merciful Provision - Hosea 2: 13-15
God has seen all our idolatry
how we've rejected His divine plan
casting off His goodness for our lovers
thinking of intervention by mere man
Their memories of God is gone
hoping only in themselves alone
but the Lord will come and punish
showing His dear love for His own
The Lord speaks so ever tenderly
His marriage vow wishes to restore
so repentance from His elect His desire
for the Lord opens the mercy door
There is indeed the valley of Achor
bringing vineyards aplenty at hope's door
receiving mercy as it was in Egypt
godly jewels straight from heavens store
Our God always has His perfect way
even in the valley sovereign God will reign
taking His own with HIm to victory
for our God battles are never in vain
(Hosea 2:13-15 (KJV)
13. And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, wherein she burned incense to them, and she decked herself with earrings and her jewels, and she went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the Lord.
14. Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
15. And I will give her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for the door of hope: and she shall sing there as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came out of the land of Egypt.)
