They Were Counted As a Strange Thing

I have written to him the great things Of my Law but they were counted as a strange thing My people have sown the wind but they shall reap the whirlwinds Set the trumpet to my mouth He that comes as an eagle against the house Of the Lord must turn from God don't forsake the Master of idols, oh, oh, no They the people have transgressed my covenant And trespassed against my law No golden idols No golden calves Gonna save myself from those ruins Israel, Israel shall cry, at last my god, My God we know thee And when know thee but we do not, know not I I have written to him the great things Of my Law but they were counted as the strange thing They were counted as the strange things Israel cast off the thing that is good Enemies shall pursue you sure They have set up kings but not by me They have made princes and I knew them not Used silver and gold made idols that they may be cut off I have written to him the greater things; Of my Law but they were counted as counted as strange things My people have sown the wind but they now know were they've been They were, are counted as the strange things Oh, Samaria has cast you off God say watch your steps or you'll be lost Mine anger is kindled against them How long, how long will it be here? They that attain to innocence From Israel was it also the workman made is known It's not God, it's not God and the calf of Samaria the Calf of Samaria shall be broken up; We all shall drink from the cup it has no stalk the bud shall yield no meal and if so be it yield The strangers shall swallow it up I have written to him the greater things Of my Law but they were counted das counted as strange things My people have sown the wind but they now know were they've been They were, they are counted as the strange things Israel now swallowed up now shall they be accountable there's no pleasure For they are gone up to Assyria on their donkeys Ephraim hath hired lovers They were counted as a strange thing 10/03/12 Written by James Edward Lee Sr. from anthology "2013"
