Capo 4
G G7
Go plead with your Mother, were the words of Hosea

As he sent his children to extend his mercy

So they journeyed down the old path, that lead to much

destruction

All the while their loving hearts were hurting

Their hope was crushed inside, as their compassion was denied

The woman they so loved seemed like a stranger.
Am G Em
Heartbroken and alone they took the long road home
C D C G
For sin now reigned and all hope seemed gone to change her
G G7
One day the word was told, some slaves were being sold
G7 C Am
A restless love sent Hosea seeking, one by one they brought them in
G Em A C
So beaten down with sin, within his chest his anxious heart was beating

All at once she caught his eye, from his lips the bids were high

She could not believe the voice that she could hear

Would he through judgment take her life, forever end his pain and strife
C D C G
What would happen as she saw him drawing near her

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

Take my hand now child and welcome to the family
