Song of Gomer Lyrics

Hosea 1-3
[ / / / /
/ / / / ]
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
But 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 whore
I've never known love like this before, Hosea you're a fool
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, and Gomer is my name
