This is a sweet hymn. One of my favorite books, Redeeming Love, is based on this story in the bible. A beautiful love story of true forgiveness and real love.
HOSEA
Come back to me with all your heart,
don't let fear keep us apart.
Trees do bend, tho' straight and tall;
so must we to others' call.
Long have 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 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 I waited for your coming
home to me and living deeply our new life Labels: other people's words, past tense |
