"I've Come to Take You Home"
Capo 4th
G
Go plead with your Mother, were the words of Hosea
G7 C
As he sent his children to extend his mercy
Em
So they journeyed down the old path, that lead to much
destruction
A C
All the while their loving hearts were hurting
G
Their hope was crushed inside, as their compassion was denied
G7 C
The woman they so loved seemed like a stranger.
G Em
Heartbroken and alone they took the long road home
C D G
For sin now reigned and all hope seemed gone to change her
One day the word was told, some slaves were being sold
G7 C
A restless love sent Hosea seeking, one by one they brought them in
Em A C
So beaten down with sin, within his chest his anxious heart was beating
G
All at once she caught his eye, from his lips the bids were high
G7 C
She could not believe the voice that she could hear
G Em
Would he through judgment take her life, forever end his pain and strife
C D G
What would happen as she saw him drawing near her
C D G
** I've come to take you home, I know that you've done wrong
C D
** But for you I'd give(gave) my life through the sorrow pain and strife
G C
** I couldn't let you go, lets leave the past behind
D G
** Love conquers one more time
C D
** He took her(my) hand and said, theres a new day just ahead
C G
** I've come to take you home
Now I've stood in that same place, bound by sin a broken slave
G7 C
G Em
I heard his word the price was paid on the cross for you that day
C D G
Take my hand now child and welcome to the family
** Chorus again, words in the ( ) this time **
What a great song, The Isaacs rock!
