The Isaacs - Ive come to take you home

"Go ^Gplead with your mother," were the ^D7words of ^DHosea As he ^Gsent his children ^G7to extend his ^Cmercy. ^CSo ^Emthey ^Amjourneyed down the long path That ^Gled to much des^Emtruction; ^AAll the while, their ^Clonely hearts were ^Ghur^Dting. Their ^Ghope was crushed inside As their com^D7passion was de^Dnied. The ^Gwoman they so ^G7loved seemed like a s^Ctranger. Heart-^Ambroken and alone, They took the ^Glong road ^Emhome, For ^Csin now reigned, and ^Dhope seemed gone to ch^Gange her.

One ^Gday the word was told; some ^D7slaves were being ^Dsold. A ^Grestless love ^G7sent Hosea ^Cseeking. ^COne ^Emby ^Amone, they brought them in So ^Gbeaten down with ^Emsin. ^AIn his chest, his ^Canxious heart was ^Gbea^Dting. All at ^Gonce she caught his eye; From his ^D7lips the bids were ^Dhigh. She could ^Gnot believe the ^G7voice she could ^Chear! Would he, through ^Amjudgement, take her life? Forever ^Gend his pain and ^Emstrife? What would ^Chappen as she ^Dsaw him drawing ^Gnear her?

"I've ^G7come to take you ^Chom^De! I know that you've done ^Gwrong, But for you I give my ^Clife. Through the sorrow, pain, and ^Dstrife I couldn't let you ^Ggo! Let's ^G7leave the past be^Chin^Dd; Love conquers one more ^Gtim^Eme." He took her hand and ^Csaid, "There's a new day just a^Dhead; I've come to take you ^Chom^Ge!"

I ^Gstood in that same place: Bound by ^D7sin, a broken ^Dslave. From the ^Gdepths of my de^G7spair I prayed for ^Cmercy. I ^Cheard ^EmHis ^Amwords, "The price was paid On the ^Gcross for you that ^Emday! Take My ^Chand now, child, and ^Dwelcome to the ^Gfamily!"

"I've ^G7come to take you ^Chom^De! I know that you've done ^Gwrong, But for you I gave my ^Clife. Through the sorrow, pain, and ^Dstrife I couldn't let you ^Ggo! Let's ^G7leave the past be^Chin^Dd; Love conquers one more ^Gtim^Eme." He took my hand and ^Csaid, "There's a new day just a^Dhead; I've come to take you ^Chom^Ge!"
