The Song of Hosea - New Again

So she comes around the table

Once again

With a broken heart and guilty hands

Only you could cure and mend the pain

She saw it glowing, and she went astray

She heard the whisper and was wooed away

Yes she fell for all of them

She took a lie and made it true

To fill the hole that she could never do

As if she would catch the rainbow

And as she comes

Take her, break her, tell her what she needs and make her new again

Take her, fill her, give her bread and wine and make her whole again

So you kept all the promises

You vowed to her

And when you saw it in their eyes, oh you're just a fool

It didn't keep you from loving her

You gave yourself; you paid the price

With tears and blood, you saved her life

Oh, the sweetest love you showed

You made of her your only wife

now in you, she is pure and bright

Like the moon

Now she shines the light that comes from you

You are her only hope, her way, her truth

You're everything that she has now

And as she comes

Take her, break her, tell her what she needs and make her new again

Take her, clothe her, wash her in your blood and make her new again

Take her, fill her, give her bread and wine and make her whole again

You gave yourself; you paid the price

With tears and blood, you saved our life

Oh, the sweetest love you showed to us

You made of us your only wife

now in you, we are pure and bright

And as we come with broken hearts, we cry out

Take us, break us, tell us what we need and make us new again

Take us, clothe us, wash us in your blood and make us pure again

Take us, fill us, give us bread and wine and make us sing
