Hosea

Verse 1
Come back to Me with all your heart
Don't let fear keep us apart
Trees do bend, 'though straight and tall
So must we to others' callRefrain
Long have I waited for
Your coming home to Me
And living deeply our new life.Verse 2
The wilderness will lead you
To your heart where I will speak
Integrity and justice
With tenderness, you shall knowVerse 3
You shall sleep secure with peace
Faithfulness will be your joy.

Father, I Have Sinned

Verse 1
Father, I have sinned
Help me find my way
Remember not my sins
Just let me hear you sayRefrain
I forgive you, I love you
You are mine, take my hand.
Go in peace, sin no more,
Beloved one.Verse 2
Father, I have turned
My back and walked away
Depended on my strength
And lived life my own wayVerse 3
Father, I have closed
My heart to those in need
Thought only of myself
A victim of my greedVerse 4
Father, I have loved
If love’s the word to use
I’ve played so many games
They’ve left me so confusedVerse 5
Father, I’ve returned
I’m home with you to stay
Standing at your door
Knowing that you’ll say

You Alone

Refrain
You alone are holy
You alone are Lord
You alone are worthy
To be honoured and adored
Mercy, You have given
Kindness, You have shown
Love is You aloneVerse 1
Who of us is sinless in this place?
Who of us deserves Your saving grace?
Who of us is good at all
Without Your blessed love that falls
Upon our hearts to heal our brokenness?Verse 2
What is there to do but thank You then
For the gift that we might call You friend?
Greater love has not been known
Than that for which You gave Your only Son
That You might see us pure and blessed

Change Our Hearts

Refrain
Change our hearts this time,
Your word says it can be.
Change our minds this time,
Your life could make us free.
We are the people Your call set apart,
Lord, this time change our hearts.Verse 1
Brought by Your hand
to the edge of our dreams.
One foot in paradise, one in the waste.
Drawn by Your promises, still we are lured
By the shadows and
The chains we leave behind.
But...Verse 2
Now as we watch
You stretch out your hands,
Offering abundances, fullness of joy.
Your milk and honey seem distant, unreal,
When we have bread and water in our hands.
But…Verse 3
Show us the way that leads to Your side,
Over the mountains and sands of the soul.
Be for us manna, water from stone,
Light which says we never walk alone.
And…
