The Song Of Hosea

	  		Intro C  D  C  D  Bm 

Am                       C 
So she comes around the table 
      G   G4  G 
Once again 
Am                            C 
With a broken heart and guilty hands 
                        G  G4    G 
Only you could cure and mend the pain 

C                                   Am 
She saw it glowing, and she went astray 
                                      G  G4  G 
She heard the whisper and was wooed away 
Yes she fell for all of them 

C                             Am 
She took a lie and made it true 
                                       G  G4  G 
To fill the hole that she could never do 
As if she would catch the rainbow 

And as she comes 

C                         Am                                  G  G4  G 
Take her, break her, tell her what she needs and make her new again 
C                      Am                                      G   G4  G 
Take her, fill her, give her bread and wine and make her whole again 

Am                         C 
So you kept all the promises 
             G  G4  G 
You vowed to her 
Am                                                   C 
And when you saw it in their eyes, oh you're just a fool 
                          G   G4  G 
It didn't keep you from loving her 

C                               Am 
You gave yourself; you paid the price 
                                    G   G4  G 
With tears and blood, you saved her life 
Oh, the sweetest love you showed 

C                             Am 
You made of her your only wife 
                                G  G4  G 
Now in you, she is pure and bright 
Like the moon 

C                                       Am 
Now she shines the light that comes from you 
                                   G    G4  G 
You are her only hope, her way, her truth 

You're everything that she has now 
And as she comes 

C                      Am                                   G   G4  G 
Take her, break her, tell her what she needs and make her new again 
C                       Am                                    G   G4  G 
Take her, clothe her, wash her in your blood and make her new again 
C                          Am                                   G  G4  G 
Take her, fill her, give her bread and wine and make her whole again 

C                               Am 
You gave yourself; you paid the price 
                                    G   G4  G 
With tears and blood, you saved our life 
Oh, the sweetest love you showed to us 

C                            Am 
You made of us your only wife 
                               G  G4  G 
Now in you, we are pure and bright 
And as we come with broken hearts, we cry out 

C                       Am                                 G  G4  G 
Take us, break us, tell us what we need and make us new again 
C                     Am                                    G   G4  G 
Take us, clothe us, wash us in your blood and make us pure again 
C                        Am                              G  G4  G 
Take us, fill us, give us bread and wine and make us sing
