HOSEA – Not My People by Bro H

Verse 1 The Lord said take a wife of harlotry For the land has turned away Like a bride who forgot her covenant And chased other lovers’ ways A son was born and the Lord said this Call his name Jezreel For the blood of kings and the fields of war Will bring judgment Israel must feel Chorus Not My people No mercy now The house has broken faith But the Lord who scatters His people wide Will gather them one day In the place where it once was said “You are not My people here” They will be called sons of the living God When the restoration appears Verse 2 Then a daughter came and the word was given Call her Lo-Ruhamah No more mercy for the house of Israel For their hearts have wandered far And another son and the name declared Lo-Ammi was his name You are not My people anymore You forgot the covenant flame Chorus Not My people No mercy now The judgment falls like rain But the promise stands Through every age The covenant remains Though scattered like sand Across the lands The Lord remembers still And the house once lost will rise again By the power of His will Verse 3 Yet the promise came through the prophet’s voice Like the sand beside the sea The children of Israel will multiply Though scattered they may be Judah and Ephraim will rise as one And appoint themselves one head They will come up out of every land Where their fathers’ footsteps led Bridge Say to your brothers You are My people Say to your sisters Mercy has come Final Chorus Not My people No mercy once But the story is not done For the Lord will heal Their wandering hearts And gather them as one The valley of Jezreel will bloom again And the scattered tribes come home For the covenant of the living God Will stand forevermore
