If you have any thoughts to share (from tonight), do let us know.
We leave you with some photos from the evening here (more to come shortly), and the poem Leonard penned and read out tonight, before singing Michael Card's Song of Gomer.
Gomer – Wife of Hosea
Once upon a time, the word from God it came
To a man who lived in Israel, Hosea was his name
He was told to marry an unfaithful wife
To love and keep her all his life
To love her each and every day,
Despite her willful, cheating ways
To care and protect, all for love’s sake
To love her though his heart may break
To love her, though, she, beguiled by sin
Sought others to satisfy her lust within
But no betrayal could change his tender love
For it came from Heaven up above
And through this tale, God shared the grief
He feels when we reject Him and our own lives live
Yet despite the corrupt ways we live,
God’s love to us, He longs to give
In a sinful and a faithless age
God longs to show us better days
To show us love, so unrestrained
To touch our lives, to heal our pain
To walk beside us, to share our load
To forgive our sins, to redeem our souls
To cleanse us so our hearts can sing
To lift us up on eagles’ wings
That one day we may live with Him
With no more shame, and no more sin
