i've come to take you home

Capo 4th  
 
 
 
     G  
Go plead with your Mother, were the words of Hosea 
       G7                              C 
As he sent his children to extend his mercy 
                                          Em 
So they journeyed down the old path, that lead to much 
destruction 
    A                                    C 
All the while their loving hearts were hurting 
       G                                 
Their hope was crushed inside, as their compassion was denied 
     G7                                C 
The woman they so loved seemed like a stranger. 
                                     G        Em 
Heartbroken and alone they took the long road home 
     C                       D                    G 
For sin now reigned and all hope seemed gone to change her 
  
One day the word was told, some slaves were being sold 
    G7                       C         
A restless love sent Hosea seeking, one by one they brought them in 
     Em                    A                                       C 
So beaten down with sin, within his chest his anxious heart was beating 
        G  
All at once she caught his eye, from his lips the bids were high 
     G7                                     C 
She could not believe the voice that she could hear 
                                                 G                  Em 
Would he through judgment take her life, forever end his pain and strife 
     C                    D                   G 
What would happen as she saw him drawing near her 
 
                          C       D                     G 
** I've come to take you home, I know that you've done wrong 
                                  C                                 D 
** But for you I'd give(gave) my life through the sorrow pain and strife 
                      G                        C 
** I couldn't let you go, lets leave the past behind 
    D                     G  
** Love conquers one more time 
                             C                           D 
** He took her(my) hand and said, theres a new day just ahead 
                          C    G 
** I've come to take you home 
 
 
Now I've stood in that same place, bound by sin a broken slave 
             G7                                C 
From the depths of my dispair I've prayed for mercy 
                                            G                 Em 
I heard his word the price was paid on the cross for you that day 
         C                    D              G     
Take my hand now child and welcome to the family 
 
** Chorus again, words in the ( ) this time **
