Song of Gomer
Michael Card
Hosea 1-3
F#2
F#2 G#m7
Don't know what He sees in me, he is spirit, he is free
F#maj7/A# B2 G#m7 C#sus
And I, the wife of adultery, Gomer is my name
F#2 G#m7
Simply more than I can see how he keeps on forgiving me
F#maj7/A# B2 G#m7 C# F#2
How he keeps his sanity, Hosea, you're a fool
F#maj7/A# G#m7sus
A fool to love someone like me, a fool to suffer silently
F#maj7/A# B2 G#m7 C# F#2
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
D#m /C# B2 /A#
This God of yours would not have told
G#m7 C#
To lift a love that you couldn't hold
D#m /C# B2 /A#
And though time and time again I flee
G#m7 C#sus C#
I'm always glad to see you coming after me
F#2 G#m7
F#maj7/A# B2 G#m7 C#
Simply more than I can see, how he keeps on forgiving me
The wife of adultery, and Gomer is my name
