Lent 2006: Hosea 001

Come back to me, with all your heart
Don't let fear keep us apart
Trees do bend, though straight and tall
so must we to others' call

Long have a I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life

The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak
Integrity and justice
With tenderness you shall know

Long have a I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life

You shall sleep secure with peace
faithfulness will be your joy

Long have a I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life
