welcoming Gomer back – v2

tears in the eyes of Hosea
tears in the eyes of God
accepting Gomer back
into the arms of God
although we are unfaithful
going with other lovers
always welcomed back by God
each one of us Gomer
unfaithful bride, Israel,
all of us who claim Him
throughout the generations
none of us worthy of the name
the church, the bride of Jesus
welcoming Gomer back
all of us unfaithful
only by God’s mercy, God’s love
all called to God’s loving arms
to the bridegroom, to Christ
