Wandering Ones

Father God, I do pray,
for the wandering ones today
for the lost and the weak
I pray again, You they'd seek.

Someone has hurt them,
along the way . . .
and so from Your grace
they have gone astray.

Their hearts are broken,
their pain is for real
they have lost their joy
misery is all they feel.

They can no longer see,
Your truth and Your light
the way now for them
is as bleak as the night.

Their trust in You,
just plain ran out
and instead of faith
they live with doubt.

Father God, I do pray,
for the wandering ones today
for the lost and the weak
I pray Your mercy, they will seek.

Hosea 6:1
King James Version

"Come, and let us return unto the Lord:
for he hath torn, and he will heal us;
he hath smitten, and he will bind us up"
