The Lord does everything to help his chosen ones,
He levels their paths and delivers them from all dangers.
The Lord does not allow anything to harm them,
However difficult the struggle, the Lord will help them.
Unfortunately, the heart of God’s people is stubborn,
People are corrupt and prone to sin.
Even seeing all the wonders done by the Lord,
They stray from the truth and follow the destroyer.
Amidst sin, the name of the Lord is forgotten,
An image rises and this is praised by them.
They bow to the statue, offering adoration,
All practice evil, doing a great abomination.
The god made by them cannot hear nor reply,
It does not respond to prayers nor change lives.
Its material may be wood or some metal,
No matter what it is, its use is for evil.
Seeing these things, God sends the prophet to advise,
God’s servant says they must change their lives.
Everyone must return to the true paths.
The Lord is merciful and will forgive their sins.
If the people repent of everything and return to God,
They will be warmly received and welcomed by the Lord.
God will no longer remember the old sins,
It is a new life; the reign of love will begin.
