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
