GO PLEAD
WITH YOUR MOTHER
WERE THE WORDS
OF HOSEA
AS HE SENT
HIS CHILDREN
TO EXTEND HIS MERCY
SO THEY JOURNEYED
DOWN THE OLD PATH
THAT LED TO
MUCH DESTRUCTION
ALL THE WHILE
THEIR LOVING HEARTS
WERE HURTING
THEIR HOPE
WAS CRUSHED INSIDE
AS THEIR COMPASSION
WAS DENIED
THE WOMAN
THEY SO LOVED
SEEMED LIKE A STRANGER
HEARTBROKEN
AND ALONE
THEY TOOK
THE LONG ROAD HOME
FOR SIN NOW REIGNED
AND HOPE SEEMED GONE
TO CHANGE HER
ONE DAY
THE WORD WAS TOLD
SOME SLAVES
WERE BEING SOLD
A RESTLESS LOVE
SENT HOSEA SEEKING
ONE BY ONE
THEY BROUGHT THEM IN
SO BEATEN DOWN
WITH SIN
WITHIN HIS CHEST
HIS ANXIOUS HEART
WAS BEATING
ALL AT ONCE
SHE CAUGHT HIS EYE
FROM HIS LIPS
THE BIDS WERE HIGH
SHE COULD NOT BELIEVE
THE VOICE
SHE COULD HEAR
WOULD HE THROUGH
JUDGEMENT
TAKE HER LIFE
FOREVER END
HIS PAIN AND STRIFE
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN
AS SHE SAW HIM
DRAWING
NEAR HER
I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU
HOME
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE
DONE WRONG
BUT FOR YOU
I'D GIVE MY LIFE
THROUGH THE SORROW
PAIN AND STRIFE
I COULDN'T LET
YOU GO
LET'S LEAVE THE PAST
BEHIND
LOVE CONQUERS
ONE MORE TIME
HE TOOK HER HAND
AND SAID
THERE'S A NEW DAY
JUST AHEAD
I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU
HOME
I'VE STOOD
IN THAT SAME PLACE
BOUND BY SIN
A BROKEN SLAVE
FROM THE DEPTHS
OF MY DESPAIR
I PRAYED FOR MERCY
I HEARD HIS WORD
THE PRICE WAS PAID
ON THE CROSS
FOR YOU THAT DAY
TAKE MY HAND NOW CHILD
AND WELCOME TO
THE FAMILY
I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU
HOME
I KNOW THAT YOU'VE
DONE WRONG
BUT FOR YOU
I GAVE MY LIFE
THROUGH THE SORROW
PAIN AND STRIFE
I COULDN'T LET
YOU GO
LET'S LEAVE THE PAST
BEHIND
LOVE CONQUERS
ONE MORE TIME
HE TOOK MY HAND
AND SAID
THERE'S A NEW DAY
JUST AHEAD
I'VE COME TO TAKE YOU
HOME
