~ "Come, Let Us Return to the Lord." ~

"Come, let us return to the Lord.
He has torn us to pieces
but He will heal us;
He has injured us
but He will bind up our wounds.

After two days He will revive us;
on the third day He will restore us,
that we may live in His presence.

Let us acknowledge the Lord;
let us press on to acknowledge Him.
As surely as the sun rises,
He will appear;
He will come to us like the winter rains,
like the spring rains that water the earth.

(Hosea 6:1-3)
