Gathering | Hosea

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

Reflection | Hosea (Come Back to Me)

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