Showers of blessing

Hosea 6:1-3

A Call to Repentance

 “Come, let us return to the Lord;

for it is he who has torn, and he will heal us;

he has struck down, and he will bind us up.

 After two days he will revive us;

on the third day he will raise us up,

that we may live before him.

 Let us know, let us press on to know the Lord;

his appearing is as sure as the dawn;

he will come to us like the showers,

like the spring rains that water the earth.”
