"Remember the devotion of your past,
How you were attentive to Me
You followed Me through paths unknown
And with passion, pursued Me
What fault did you find in Me
That you, have strayed and slid
To follow worthless idols,
Forgetting all that I did
How I delivered you
And led you through the wild
Into a land of promise
As a father would his child
You have forsaken Me,
An everlasting spring
And dug yourself a broken pit
That won't hold anything
Your wickedness will punish you
And bitterness, you'll taste
For you have no awe of Me,"
The Lord Almighty states
"Long ago you broke My heart
When you broke your bonds and said:
I will not serve You -
And lied in corruption's bed
You try and cleanse yourself
But your stain of guilt, you can't erase,"
Declares the Sovereign Lord,
"You are defiled and disgraced
You have turned your back on Me
Until you need My help
Since your idols are mute monoliths
'Come and save us, God' you yelp
In vain, I have corrected you
But you didn't respond
You have forgotten Me
And say you've done no wrong
If you return to Me,"
Declares the faithful Lord,
"I will not frown on you
In anger anymore
Just acknowledge to Me
Your rebellion and Your guilt,
That you have disobeyed
My good and perfect will
Return to Me, My chosen ones
And I will shepherd you
Into truth and righteousness
For I long to so bless you"
