G5 
Go plead with your Mother, were the words of Hosea
       G5                              C5
As he sent his children to extend his mercy
                                          E5
So they journeyed down the old path, that lead to much

destruction
    A5                                    C5
All the while their loving hearts were hurting
       G5                                
Their hope was crushed inside, as their compassion was denied
     G5                                C5
The woman they so loved seemed like a stranger.
                                     G5        E5
Heartbroken and alone they took the long road home
     C5                       D5                    G5
For sin now reigned and all hope seemed gone to change her
 
One day the word was told, some slaves were being sold
    G5                       C5        
A restless love sent Hosea seeking, one by one they brought them in
     E5                    A5                                       C5
So beaten down with sin, within his chest his anxious heart was beating
        G5 
All at once she caught his eye, from his lips the bids were high
     G5                                     C5
She could not believe the voice that she could hear
                                                 G5                  E5
Would he through judgment take her life, forever end his pain and strife
     C5                    D5                   G5
What would happen as she saw him drawing near her


                          C5       D5                     G5
** I've come to take you home, I know that you've done wrong
                                  C5                                 D5
** But for you I'd give(gave) my life through the sorrow pain and strife
                      G5                        C5
** I couldn't let you go, lets leave the past behind
    D5                     G5 
** Love conquers one more time
                             C5                           D5
** He took her(my) hand and said, theres a new day just ahead
                          C5    G5
** I've come to take you home

Now I've stood in that same place, bound by sin a broken slave
             G5                                C5
From the depths of my dispair I've prayed for mercy
                                            G5                 E5
I heard his word the price was paid on the cross for you that day
         C5                    D5              G5    
Take my hand now child and welcome to the family
