Like I said, I've been reading Hosea...

So many things call to me.

Money will make it better.

Love will make it better.

Beauty will make it better

So many things call to me.

I am an adulteress

Lusting after the world’s pleasantries.

In action or in thought,

I am a prostitute of the secular.

Like Israel I stray,

Forgetting your faithfulness.

Selfish, broken, and used

I fall naked at your feet.

Tired of this emptiness, Lord.

Recapture me.

Don’t let me go.

The current is strong,

And I’m slipping back.

Jesus, save me.
