They denied you
Lied to you
Disobeyed you
Strayed from you

Yea, but they came back
They went a whoring
Often ignoring
Sought other gods
Taught “He’s hard”
Yea, but they came back
Robbed from you
Then sobbed to you
Kept back the tenth
Supplied their own rent
Yea, but they came back
Cursed you
Didn’t rehearse you
Twisted your word
That it couldn’t be heard
Yea, but they came back
Made you look like a sucker
Broke all the rules
Spat in your face
You know that wasn’t cool
Yea, but they came back
Didn’t keep their part
Broke every pack
I guess because you’re good
Yea, they came back

As long as there’s breath and blood performing their appointed duties, redemption is available. The fact that we’re all redeemable is often a hard principle to swallow. Look at Zacchaeus, the thief on the cross as examples of the redeemable quality in all human kind. Good post!
