Tune: Hereford
('O thou who camest from above')
Hosea 10 v.12-13
*********
Sow to yourselves in righteousness
So shall the Lord turn to you, bless
Reap in mercy, loving-kindness
And seek the Lord, His forgiveness
Brek up your fallow ground, it be
Untilled, and laying idly, see
For it is time to seek the Lord
Come to Him humbly, trust His word
Seek Him till He come and rain on
You righteousness, each daughter, son
Wickedness you plowed, and sin reaped
Were in idolatrous ways steeped

Wow ..I didn't realise...I'd have been more careful where I put it about if I'd knowed.....
Woof! Fido's checking comments.
How long id that going to take? I can't be hanging around a quivering wreck awaiting judgement for my sins... I want to get back to my potions...
He gotta check if any naughty people 'forgot' to mark poems 18+, if they should be so marked.
He's taking his time over my latest - the title, 'Not Another One' could equally apply (though not the content) to his activities. He's getting very slack.
you can beat an egg & a drum .. but you just can't beat a bit of idolatry these days ~~~~ 🐧💙
Thanks N. You tried a spot of idolatry? I would be leading ya astray!
With Spring nipping at our heels the time of sowing is upon us again. And with that a season of healing as well.
Thanks CB.
