Song Of Gomer - Michael Card

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

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 whore

I’ve never known love like this before

Hosea, you’re a fool

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

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
