Hosea

Hosea                                    Weston Priory
                                                Gregory Norbet

Verse 1
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.

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

Verse 2
The wilderness will lead you
to your heart where I will speak.
Integrity and justice
with tenderness you shall know.

Verse 3
You shall sleep secure with peace;
faithfulness will be your joy.
