HOSEA – Lack of Knowledge by Bro H

Verse 1 Hear the word of the Lord, O land of Israel Truth has fallen in the streets No mercy, no knowledge of God in the land Bloodshed follows bloodshed endlessly They swear and they lie and they steal and they kill Breaking covenant again The priests turned away from the law of the Lord And the people followed them Chorus My people are destroyed Destroyed for lack of knowledge You rejected the law of your God Now the land mourns in silence Turn your hearts back home Return to the God who called you He will heal your wandering soul And restore the broken nation Verse 2 They forgot the God who delivered them From the wilderness and the sword When the pastures were full and their hearts were proud They remembered Him no more They burned incense on every hill Calling idols by His name Mixing truth with the gods of the nations And the covenant turned to shame Chorus My people are destroyed Because they cast away the knowledge They traded truth for comfortable lies And forgot the ancient promise But the Lord still calls From the ruins of the altar Seek His face while mercy stands Before the day grows darker Verse 3 Ephraim mixed with the peoples around Like a cake not turned in the flame Gray hairs came and they did not see They no longer knew their name They chased the wind and trusted kings Running to Egypt and Asshur for aid But Yahweh said every refuge will fail Every lie will fade Bridge Break up the ground of your hardened heart Sow righteousness again Seek the Lord until He comes Like rain upon the land Final Chorus My people are destroyed Destroyed for lack of knowledge But mercy waits for those who return To the truth their fathers followed Turn your heart back home Return to the God who called you And the light of the Lord will rise again Over scattered Israel Outro Sow in righteousness, seek the Lord Till the rain of truth comes down For the ways of Yahweh are right And the faithful will be found
