What God did for Israel

Hosea 11: 1-4

What God did for Israel	What parents do for their children
He called them out of Egypt	My parents feed me at home
I touch and heal my people	They forgave us when we did things wrong
I fed my people	I pick my children and hug and kiss them
He saved our sins	They help us at home with our homework
	Our parents loved us with all their heart
