Verse 1:
  G+G                 D7D7    D MajorD
"Go plead with your mother," were the words of Hosea
   G+G         G7G7      C majorC
As he sent his children to extend his mercy.
C majorC E minorEm  A minorAm
So they journeyed down the long path
   G+G       E minorEm
That led to much destruction;
A augmentedA          C majorC         G+G D MajorD
All the while, their lonely hearts were hurting.
   G+G
Their hope was crushed inside
      D7D7      D MajorD
As their compassion was denied.
  G+G       G7G7          C majorC
The woman they so loved seemed like a stranger.
   A minorAm
Heart-broken and alone,
       G+G     E minorEm
They took the long road home,
  C majorC          D MajorD           G+G
For sin now reigned, and hope seemed gone to change her.

    Pause 3 beats:

  G+G              D7D7        D MajorD
One day the word was told; some slaves were being sold.
 G+G       G7G7     C majorC
A augmentedA restless love sent Hosea seeking.
C majorC  E minorEm A minorAm
One by one, they brought them in
  G+G        E minorEm
So beaten down with sin.
A augmentedA         C majorC         G+G D MajorD
In his chest, his anxious heart was beating.
    G+G
All at once she caught his eye;
     D7D7         D MajorD
From his lips the bids were high.
     G+G        G7G7       C majorC
She could not believe the voice she could hear!
         A minorAm
Would he, through judgement, take her life?
    G+G        E minorEm
Forever end his pain and strife?
      C majorC       D MajorD        G+G
What would happen as she saw him drawing near her?

Chorus:
   G7G7        C majorC D MajorD
"I've come to take you home!
            G+G
I know that you've done wrong,
           C majorC
But for you I give my life.
               D MajorD
Through the sorrow, pain, and strife
          G+G
I couldn't let you go!
   G7G7        C majorC D MajorD
Let's leave the past behind;
            G+G E minorEm
Love conquers one more time."
           C majorC
He took her hand and said,
             D MajorD
"There's a new day just ahead;
           C majorC G+G
I've come to take you home!"


Verse 2:
 G+G
I stood in that same place:
     D7D7      D MajorD
Bound by sin, a broken slave.
     G+G       G7G7         C majorC
From the depths of my despair I prayed for mercy.
 C majorC   E minorEm A minorAm
I heard His words, "The price was paid
    G+G         E minorEm
On the cross for you that day!
    C majorC          D MajorD       G+G
Take My hand now, child, and welcome to the family!"


Chorus:
   G7G7        C majorC D MajorD
"I've come to take you home!
            G+G
I know that you've done wrong,
           C majorC
But for you I gave my life.
               D MajorD
Through the sorrow, pain, and strife
          G+G
I couldn't let you go!
   G7G7        C majorC D MajorD
Let's leave the past behind;
            G+G E minorEm
Love conquers one more time."
          C majorC
He took my hand and said,
             D MajorD
"There's a new day just ahead;
           C majorC G+G
I've come to take you home!"
