The Isaacs

"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

From the depths of my dispair I've prayed for mercy

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!
