Just Like Gomer

by ContessaDelicatessa

This sums up my thoughts while reading through the book of Hosea. In a way we're all like Gomer; we've all messed up and fallen short of God's glory, but he loves us anyways.

A/N: Here's my first fic ever. It's just a little song I wrote a couple months back. I was thinking about the book of Hosea, and how we're really all like Gomer. We've all done evil things, maybe not to the extent that Gomer did, but still evil.And usually, don't want to admit that what we've done is wrong. But God loves us again, and no matter how many times we fall, he'll still be there to bend down and pull us back up with his nail scared hands…

Chorus:

Just like Gomer, that I am.

I've done evil yet again,

But I'm not sorry, no not yet,

But you still love me, despite all that.

You knew I'd hurt you and disobey,

Knew that I'd with evil lay.

Yet you still loved me, still forgave.

With the blood the price you paid,

To bring me back close to your side,

And wash away my hurt and pride.

You knew all the mistakes I'd make.

You gave your heart for me to break.

Chorus

I pushed, I kicked, I bit, I shoved,

But you still engulfed me with your love;

Cut off the breath of my evil soul,

And filled that little God shaped hole.

The evil died and good was born,

And I was new, just like the morn.

Just Like Gomer, that I am.

You took me back, again, again,

Dried my tears and washed me clean,

Flushed away the bad and mean.

Now I'm pure and whole and true.

All because you loved me through.
