I've Come To Take You Home

<p>Go plead with your mother<br/>Were the words of Hosea<br/>As he sent his children to extend his mercy<br/>So, they journeyed down the old path<br/>That lead to much destruction<br/>All the while, their loving hearts were hurting<br/><br/>Their hope was crushed inside<br/>As their compassion was denied<br/>The woman they so loved<br/>Seemed like a stranger<br/>Heartbroken and alone<br/>They took the long road homе<br/>For sin now reigned<br/>All hope seemеd gone to change her<br/><br/>One day the word was told<br/>Some slaves were being sold<br/>A restless love sent Hosea seeking<br/>One by one they brought them in<br/>So beaten down with sin<br/>Within his chest<br/>His anxious heart was beating<br/><br/>All at once she caught his eye<br/>From his lips the bids were high<br/>She could not believe the voice<br/>That she could hear<br/>Would he through judgment take her life<br/>Forever end his pain and strife<br/>What would happen<br/>As she saw him drawing near her<br/>I&#x27;ve come to take you home<br/>I know that you&#x27;ve done wrong<br/>But for you I&#x27;d give my life<br/>Through the sorrow, pain and strife<br/>I couldn&#x27;t let you go<br/>Let&#x27;s leave the past behind<br/>Love conquers one more time<br/>He took her hand and said<br/>There&#x27;s a new day just ahead<br/>I&#x27;ve come to take you home<br/><br/>I&#x27;ve stood in that same place<br/>Bound by sin, a broken slave<br/>From the depths of my despair<br/>I&#x27;ve prayed for mercy<br/>I heard His word the price was paid<br/>On the cross for you that day<br/>Take My hand now child<br/>And welcome to the family<br/><br/>I&#x27;ve come to take you home<br/>I know that you&#x27;ve done wrong<br/>But for you I gave My life<br/>Through the sorrow, pain and strife<br/>I couldn&#x27;t let you go<br/>Let&#x27;s leave the past behind<br/>Love conquers one more time<br/>He took my hand and said<br/>There&#x27;s a new day just ahead<br/>I&#x27;ve come to take you home
