Hosea 14:2
Take with you words, and turn to the LORD: say unto him, Take away all iniquity, and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips.

On a steep ravine
Getting closer to the fire
Clinging flat to the rock
Not falling is the desire

A close grip on the rock
Makes the climb more sure
The light is so powerful
Gives the strength to endure

Others there along the way
Are there to help the weak (Gal.6:2)
The young are holding fast the rock
They can almost see the peak

Remove the thorns along the way
So no distractions choke (Matt. 13:32)
A clear path is easier
When traveling through smoke

Our God is a consuming fire (Hebrews 12:29)
He that cometh to God must believe (Hebrews 11:6)
After ye have done the will of God,
The promise you'll receive! (Hebrews 10:36)

To Moses was the secret given
Long long ago
Rise up early in the morning
To the mountain you must go

Climb up to the very top
You must be all alone
Have your blank slate before you
Bow down before the throne

Bring the hewed out stone
The tables of your heart will do
He will descend like a cloud
His presence will cover you

His name you will proclaim
With you, God will stand
He is merciful and long suffering
Goodness and truth are in his hands

Based on Exodus 34

2 Timothy 2:16

King James Version (KJV)

¹⁶But shun profane and vain babblings: for they will increase unto more ungodliness.

A tree by the river
With roots spread out
Not afraid of the heat
Nor of a drought

If the water of life
Wasn't there for the tree
It would not prosper
Would have no green in it's leaves

Jesus' words are like the river
That strengthens the tree
The roots, the foundation
An approved workman needs

Without searching, you
Won't find,
Break up your fallow ground
Then when the Lord returns
Watching and praying, you'll be found

Jeremiah 17

Ruth 2:12
The LORD recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the LORD God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

Cursing at the king
Throwing stones and dust
He deserves the death penalty!
But King David, he is just!

He tells his men to let him be
Not to touch this man
King David knows a secret
He takes the MERCY stand

"It may be that the LORD will look on mine affliction, and that the LORD will requite me good for his cursing this day. " says King David

A very different story
A very different man
God calls Jonah to warn Ninevah
And to fulfill his Godly plan

God pours his mercy on Ninevah
Jonah gets angry and wants to die
He doesn't understand the mercy plan
And Then God shows him why

A plant is created
To shade him from the sun
A worm devours the plant
Jonah comes undone

God points out to Jonah
He Wanted mercy for that little plant
A plant he didn't create
Or labor with his hands

On that great city, he wanted no mercy Given to them
A city full of people
Who fasted and did repent

Blessed are the merciful
For they shall obtain mercy
