Singing All The Way

This morning I was listening to one my favorite singers, Mr Michael Card.
I find his music to always be encouragement for my soul, but especially today.
I was listening to a piece called Gomer's Song and found that I could relate perfectly to her in that song. It is Gomer singing to Hosea and questioning why he still loves and brings her back home despite the hurt.
This story to me has always been a picture of how God keeps bringing us back to him and pulling us up from the depths of sin even though we don't deserve it.
We've all felt like she has at times, asking God how he can still love us while marveling that he does.
May your hearts be encouraged as you listen to the song.




Song Of Gomer lyrics
Don't know what he sees in me
He is spirit, he is free
And I, the wife of adultery
Gomer is my name.
Simply more than I can see
How he keeps on forgiving me;
How he keeps his sanity
Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus:
A fool to love someone like me,
A fool to suffer silently;
Though sometimes through your eyes I see
I'd rather be a fool.
The fondness of a father,
The passion of a child;
The tenderness of a loving friend
An understanding smile.
All of this and so much more,
You've lavished on a faithless horror
I've never known love like this before
Hosea, you're a fool.
Chorus:
A fool to love someone like me,
A fool to suffer silently;
Though sometimes through your eyes I see
I'd rather be a fool.
Bridge:
This God of yours would not have told
To lift a love that you couldn't hold;
And though time and time again I flee,
I'm always glad to see you coming after me!
Simply more than I can see,
How he keeps on forgiving me
The wife of adultery;
Gomer is my name.
